SAN FRANCISCO Zeidman Consulting Monday (Aug. 7) introduced a suite of tools for comparing computer source code to detect such things as plagiarism, copyright infringement, intellectual property theft and patent infringement.
According to Zeidman (Cupertino, Calif.), the product, CodeSuite, can also generate detailed HTML reports and statistics spreadsheets.
One component of the suite, CodeMatch, uses algorithms to compare source code files and rank them according to correlation scores, Zeidman said. These algorithms have been shown to produce more exact results than any other source code comparison tool available, according to the company.
Another component, CodeDiff, performs a line by line
comparison of source code files, running much faster than CodeMatch to give preliminary results and to pare down the number of files for CodeMatch to examine, according to the company.
"CodeMatch has been a fantastically successful tool for copyright infringement litigation," said Bob Zeidman, president of Zeidman Consulting. "It's become a de facto standard at several premiere intellectual property law firms."
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
