Caspia Technologies Details Impact of Its CODAx AI-Assisted Security Linter

CODAx Found 16 Security Vulnerabilities in Popular OpenRISC CPU Core
Unique Program Allows Designers to Test CODAx for Free

GAINSVILLE, Fla., March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Caspia Technologies, a pioneer in the development of AI-enhanced security verification solutions for advanced SoCs and systems, today announced details of the impact of its security linter called CODAx. The company reported that 16 security violations were found in a popular OpenRISC CPU core. This open-source core has been deployed in a variety of embedded applications, including telecommunications, portable media, home entertainment, and automotive.

CODAx uses over 150 security rules to perform comprehensive static checking on design RTL to flag code that can lead to security vulnerabilities. The CODAx rules benefit from Caspia Technologies security LLMs trained with the latest vulnerabilities, threat models and security AI agents. The easy-to-use tool analyzes the control and data-path portions of a design with a large and growing database of security rules. CODAx provides more secure and robust end products while enabling more efficient design flows with reduced time-to-market and lower secure development costs.

Approximately 32,000 lines of code in the OpenRISC CPU core were analyzed. CODAx detected six violations of control path security directives and 10 violations of data-path security directives. In contrast, the golden reference linter currently in use throughout the industry found only two of the 16 violations flagged by CODAx, illustrating the unique value of this new class of security linter. The complete analysis using CODAx took under 60 seconds.

Example vulnerabilities found include:

Insecure state encoding schemes and transitions for finite state machines in the design. This practice can make the state machines susceptible to fault injection attacks and improper leakage of sensitive information.Improper initialized data-path registers upon reset. If these registers are left uninitialized, their state becomes undefined when the design is first brought out of reset. During this vulnerable window, before the registers are explicitly initialized by the logic, the design operates in an insecure state, increasing the risk of exploitation.

Caspia Technologies is actively engaging with approximately seven leading semiconductor technology suppliers spanning industries such as wireless, AI, AMS, DSP, automotive, and processor platforms, to demonstrate the value of CODAx and subsequently strengthen the security portion of the development flow.

Today’s security issues are addressed manually. Implementing a CODAx solution will enhance the productivity of the security team while addressing vulnerability attacks before they happen. As a result, the entire design flow will be more efficient while reducing the costs for running security tests.

“CODAx is the first solution in a robust roadmap of solutions that enhances design security and product assurance across the entire electronic development and delivery flow,” said Dr. Mark Tehranipoor, Department Chair & Intel Charles E. Young Chair in Cybersecurity at the University of Florida, and co-founder of Caspia Technologies. “I am delighted with the strong interest we are seeing in the market for CODAx and the significant demonstration of capability we achieved with the OpenRISC CPU analysis.”

Unique New Access Program for CODAx

Caspia also announced the details of a new program to enable testing of CODAx on open-source designs free of charge.

Visit https://apps.caspia.ai/ in your web browser. You will find further information there on creating an account to access the platform.When logged in to the platform, users can run CODAx on various designs, including a RISC-V core and open-source hardware root-of-trust.The goal is to give users a feel for using the security tool and the rule-checks CODAx performs.Feedback from the community is welcome!

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
