2022: Using Solar appScreener

The Academy of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation uses the Solar appScreener static code analyzer in training programs for future information security specialists. This was announced on July 5, 2022 by Rostelecom-Solar.

One of the important specialties that can be obtained at the Academy of the FSO of Russia is the information security of telecommunications systems. The training of future cybersecurity specialists is not only theoretical, but also practical-oriented, since after graduation, graduates will have to work with state information systems and resist cyber threats.

Using Solar appScreener helps students improve their skills to check ON for security risks in it. The code analyzer enhances the practical aspect of learning to improve software security. The scanner not only highlights errors in the code being tested, but also provides detailed information about the nature of the threat and how to fix it. In addition, the tool has a user-friendly interface and a large scope of languages ​ ​ - programming there are 36 of them as of July 2022. The solution automatically determines in which language the code is written, and is also able to work with programs that are written in several languages ​ ​ at once.

First of all, due to the fact that in the product we focus on recommendations on how to eliminate the identified threat, - said Daniil Chernov, director of the Solar appScreen Center of RTK-Solar. - By the time of graduation, students will have practical skills in working with a code analyzer that uses advanced technologies and complex vulnerability scanning algorithms. Such knowledge will be very useful when specialists will work to increase the security of information systems, including those responsible for building secure software development processes.
