Buffer overflow is one of the most common code vulnerabilities. If a buffer overflow vulnerability is not addressed, an untrustworthy agent can take advantage and cause a buffer overrun. In this blog, we break down what is buffer overflow, how to prevent buffer overflow, and we provide examples to help make safeguarding your software against buffer overflow simpler and easier.

What is legacy code? Legacy code is source code that already exists and needs to be used again. It's not necessarily lousy code, but it often needs some effort to integrate into newer systems. That means you need effective ways of overcoming legacy code's issues. What are your chances of working with legacy code? Given that most of the top 10 programming languages on the TIOBE popularity index have been around for at least 20 years, your chances are very high.

Are self-driving cars safe? The software in modern cars contains more than 100 million lines of code that enable many different features — cruise control, speed assistance, and parking cameras. And, the code within these embedded systems only gets more complex. This trend will continue as cars of the future become more connected. Cars are increasingly dependent on technology. And they will progressively become more autonomous — and ultimately self-driving.
