Posted on: Friday, 11 November 2005, 15:00 CST

Secure Software Tightly Integrates One of the Industry's Most Accurate Source Code Analysis Tools with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Help Developers Produce More Secure Software

Secure Software, an authority in automated application security products and process technology, today announced its participation in the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program as a premier-level partner. By joining the VSIP program, Secure Software continues its ongoing commitment to provide tighter integration between one of the industry's most accurate source code analysis suites for application security, Secure Software CodeAssure(TM), and leading development platforms. The integration between CodeAssure and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 will increase developer productivity and ease deployment of applications tested and secured by CodeAssure on the Microsoft Windows platform.

"Secure Software addresses security flaws at a time when it is most cost-effective to remedy them--during development," said Nick Abbott, group manager of the .NET Developer Marketing Group at Microsoft Corp. "By joining the VSIP program, Secure Software's CodeAssure product suite will help Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 development teams reduce security vulnerabilities in their products before they are brought to market."

"As a result of our relationship with Microsoft, thousands of Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 developers will have access to one of the most accurate application security toolsets for source code analysis available on the market," said Mark Patterson, vice president of engineering, Secure Software. "These developers will be able to find and fix security flaws early in product lifecycles, reducing security risk for all future users of their wares."

CodeAssure is one of the most accurate source code analysis suites for improving application security on the market. CodeAssure provides a comprehensive, process-oriented solution for identifying, assessing and remediating software vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle.

Secure Software is also the creator and publisher of CLASP (Comprehensive, Lightweight Application Security Process), a process guide that helps organizations incorporate security into their application development lifecycle. CLASP is an activity-driven and role-based process that offers practical hands-on guidance to everyone in the software development lifecycle.
