Introduces Secure Software Development
Lifecycle (SSDLC) and Software Vulnerability Alerts (SVA) that meet
latest security requirements and offer peace of mind to operators
of mission critical networks
AUSTIN,
Texas, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviat
Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW), the expert in wireless transport and
access solutions, today announced that it has enhanced its Secure
Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) process and Software
Vulnerability Alert (SVA) service designed to strengthen Aviat's
software and firmware development process to comply with latest
cybersecurity requirements. With the increasing number of
vulnerabilities, threats and attacks, SSDLC and SVA are now seen as
essential countermeasures to protect against software security
threats for critical communications networks.
Aviat's SSDLC is a structured process to improve cybersecurity
for all Aviat products, built with independent 3rd party validation
that integrates security at every stage of the software lifecycle,
from definition, design, coding, testing and maintenance, to ensure
that vulnerabilities are proactively identified and mitigated.
Aviat will leverage the latest secure software practices from
internationally recognized organizations such as OWASP (Open
Worldwide Application Security Project) which ensures consistent
vulnerability management, continuous improvement in security
posture and ultimately delivers safer, more resilient software
solutions.
Software Vulnerability Alert (SVA) is an add-value service that
will deliver a proactive notification to Aviat customers of any
potential impact of "common vulnerability/exposures" (CVE) that are
published by the MITRE Corporation, a non-profit organization that
is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security. Aviat will
perform nightly scanning of ProVision and ProVision Plus Management
software source code using 3rd-party tools and notify SVA
subscribed customers within 24 hours of the detection of any major
or critical detected CVE, along with the recommended mitigation
and/or a software patch.
"At Aviat we take security of our customer's networks extremely
seriously," Pete Smith, CEO Aviat
Networks said, "We are pleased to implement these new cybersecurity
measures to ensure the integrity of our products and software and
believe that this new service will provide that extra level of
protection and peace of mind for our customers."
Together, Aviat's introduction of SSDLC combined with SVA
notifications will provide operators with the confidence and peace
of mind that their Aviat management systems are being protected
proactively against known cybersecurity threats on an ongoing
basis.
