Your team is initiating a vulnerability assessment to identify known weaknesses in the proprietary software used by your organization. To avoid any service disruption, they need to examine the software without actually executing its code. Which type of analysis is most appropriate for this situation?
Static analysis is the process of examining software without executing the code. It's often used to evaluate source code or compiled versions of code to detect security vulnerabilities. Unlike dynamic analysis which requires running the software, static analysis can reveal issues such as coding errors and compliance with coding standards without the risk of affecting running systems. This method is appropriate for the scenario where service disruption needs to be avoided.
