BeNeLux09 - Hybrid Analysis 2.0 - A demonstration of precision results correlation for improved software security testing

The presentation
The correlation of results from "white box" static source code analysis and "black box" dynamic penetration testing tools has been considered by some to be the "holy grail" in software security testing. Unfortunately, to date, solutions in this area have failed to provide meaningful benefit.

Recent work at Fortify allows us to address this failure, moving past simple correlation and ultimately providing what is truly beneficial - insight into the black box results.
