Synopsys, Inc. announced the availability of Synopsys fAST Dynamic, a new dynamic application security testing (DAST) offering on the Synopsys Polaris Software Integrity Platform®. fAST Dynamic enables development, security, and DevOps teams to quickly find and fix security vulnerabilities in modern web applications without impeding development velocity. fAST Dynamic features a simplified onboarding and configuration experience, smart attack execution, and an innovative analysis engine designed for DevSecOps workflows. Synopsys fAST Dynamic, which is built on the innovative scanning technology acquired from WhiteHat Security, complements the fAST Static and fAST SCA capabilities introduced on the Polaris platform in 2023. Together they enable development and security teams to address vulnerabilities in proprietary source code, open source dependencies, and application behavior through a single fully integrated application security testing solution. Underpinned by modern cloud architecture and scalable multi-tenant SaaS delivery, Polaris makes it easy for developers to onboard and start scanning in minutes while enabling security teams to track

Trimble and Radiodetection announced a collaboration to improve the technology used in the utility measurement and mapping process. Through the integration of the Trimble® Catalyst™ DA2 GNSS system and Radiodetection’s RD Map™+ application and precision locator products, the software and hardware integration streamlines utility-locating workflows to provide high-accuracy measurement capabilities for the creation of underground utilities maps in a single field operation.  Simplified Utility Mapping with Survey-Grade Accuracy Traditionally, field technicians manually mark their measurements onsite or rely on data entries to provide to office staff for map creation after a site visit. Data collected with the Trimble Catalyst DA2 GNSS system can now be simultaneously synced with Radiodetection RD Map+ and precision locators that find and mark buried utilities. By streamlining this connection, workers can efficiently and accurately digitize utility-line locations and reduce costly reporting errors. “Accurate geolocation is critical to the operation and maintenance of underground utilities and public infrastructure,”

A Franco-Singaporean collaboration has been announced to benchmark and optimize the energy efficiency of quantum computing. The partnership includes Eviden, the Atos Group business leading in advanced computing, A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) in Singapore, and MajuLab, an international research laboratory in quantum physics. Majulab is a joint laboratory of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Université Côte d’Azur (UCA), Sorbonne University (SU), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). In the context of conventional high-performance computing (HPC) environments, energy optimizations are generally achieved through improved hardware architectures and better cooling systems. However new approaches must be set up to optimize energetic consumption in future quantum computers. Quantum computing leverages fundamental science to solve complex problems much more efficiently than classical methods: this is known as the quantum computational advantage.
