Secure Software and Praxis Engineering Team to Deliver Application Security to Federal Markets; Proven Software and Services Offering Integrates Application Security Early Into SDLC

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

Secure Software, a recognized leader in applications security, and Praxis Engineering, a consulting and solutions firm specializing in software and systems engineering technologies, announced today a joint offering for the federal government that protects mission-critical applications. The offering introduces security early in the software development life cycle, improving application integrity. Praxis, in addition to its own security expertise within the federal government, has selected Secure Software's application security portfolio to resell to its government customers.

Software and services deployments are based upon the integration of CLASP(TM) (Comprehensive Lightweight Application Security Process) 7 Best Practices for application security and automation tools (CodeAssure(TM)) that discover and remediate security vulnerabilities in source code. Praxis Engineering is a proven leader in delivering software solutions by partnering with companies that offer best of breed technologies.

Application security has become a critical concern for organizations, especially in the federal government sector. Jim Stock, director for Praxis Engineering, states, "Praxis is pleased to partner with Secure Software to bring emerging technology and the most comprehensive application security solutions mix to our customers. Praxis strives to continually seek companies with leading technologies and Secures Software's CodeAssure product suite, together with CLASP 7 Best Practices, will be a significant gain to Praxis' expanding depth of best-in-breed technologies."

Secure Software's Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Kernan, states that "Just as the private sector has been rapidly adopting application security best practices and automated security tools, the federal government is also demanding comprehensive security for applications. We are enthused to be partnered with the security expertise of Praxis Engineering where together we can advance the adoption of application security within federal organizations."
