Finite State’s SCA Tool Introduces Dart Language Support

Finite State’s SCA tool now supports Dart, enabling developers to scan and secure mobile applications written in the Dart language or built using Flutter, a popular UI Software Development Kit for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.

An innovative and effective way to build high-quality mobile applications, Dart is a popular language for good reason, and Finite State is proud to be the first software supply chain solution with Dart support.

Mobile DevSecOps misconceptions & Dart vulnerabilities

Many assume that because mobile apps tend to be more secure than desktop applications, DevSecOps tools, processes, and security policies aren’t necessary. This is a dangerous assumption on which to base your mobile security practices.

While it’s true that mobile app languages, on average, have fewer vulnerabilities (particularly Swift), software vulnerabilities do still exist. As people increasingly look to mobile apps to do everything from ordering takeout to online banking and the amount of personal data available to potential attackers grows, so does the importance of strengthening mobile app security.

Mobile applications are subject to the same security policies as desktop applications. If your company, for example, requires that no application have known vulnerabilities with a severity level of 7 or higher, you need to ensure that your mobile app complies. The best way to do this is through routine testing.

That’s where Finite State comes in.
