Secure Software Announces That CA Selects CodeAssure Application Security Suite

Posted on: Wednesday, 21 June 2006, 09:00 CDT

Secure Software, a respected provider of automated application security products and process technology, today announced that CA (NYSE: CA) has selected the CodeAssure(TM) product suite to find and remediate security flaws during the software development lifecycle. CA, one of the world's largest information technology management software companies, helps customers improve business performance by unifying and simplifying the management of their enterprise IT environments.

"The safety and integrity of our customers' computing environments is an absolute priority for us," said John Kane SVP R&D Integration Platform Services at CA. "By using CodeAssure, we are able to find and fix security flaws earlier in the development lifecycle - enabling us to do an even better job of fulfilling this critical business requirement, while lowering our operating costs."

The CodeAssure application security suite includes CodeAssure Solo for individual developers, CodeAssure Team for collaboration between developers and security specialists, and CodeAssure Enterprise providing analysis, collaboration, reporting and management capabilities for entire development organizations (http://www.securesoftware.com/products/). Independent testing of the CodeAssure product suite has identified it as the most accurate source code analysis suite on the market (http://www.securesoftware.com/news/releases/20050715.html).

"It only takes one major event involving data theft, service disruption or regulatory noncompliance to significantly damage an organization's reputation and credibility with customers, partners and investors," said Kevin Kernan, CEO of Secure Software. "Unfortunately, most organizations already have all ten fingers in the dyke, patching vulnerabilities as they become publicized and praying that the next major security event won't have their name attached to it. CA is taking proactive steps to help its customers reduce risk by delivering better, more secure applications."
