NSFOCUS Earns VERAFIED Security Marks from Veracode

SANTA CLARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

NSFOCUS was recently awarded the VERAFIED™ security mark for its Anti-DDoS System (ADS) by Veracode, Inc., the provider of the world's leading cloud-based application risk management services platform. While the NSFOCUS ADS has been relied upon by some of the world's leading corporations for more than a decade, the third-party verification of the NSFOCUS solution confirms that the system operates at a degree that will assure a security level that protects a company's assets and reputation.

The VERAFIED mark demonstrates that NSFOCUS is actively identifying and remediating application vulnerabilities to provide its customers with one of the highest levels of software assurance and security verification. This is a clear indicator to NSFOCUS' worldwide customers that the company's security and DDoS solutions have met or exceeded industry standards for security, reliability and compliance.

"The VERAFIED mark is a validation of what the world's largest businesses already know about the NSFOCUS ADS. The company is dedicated to ongoing third-party validation to provide our customers and partners the added peace of mind that their system is secure," said Frank Ip, Vice President, North America, NSFOCUS. "As we move more firmly into the service provider realm, this mark provides an extra layer of confidence that they can pass onto their customers."

NSFOCUS submitted the full code base of its ADS for analysis using Veracode's patented automated static and binary analysis. The code was reviewed in its final compiled version, including libraries and third party components. The exhaustive testing process inspects the applications in a similar method as those who attack systems therefore providing the most accurate and actionable vulnerability detection available. NSFOCUS' current ADS has received a Level 4 (HIGH) rating per the requirements of the Veracode VERAFIED Security Mark Program indicating that the software has been tested against OWASP Top 10 and SANS Top 25 technical flaws.

"Application security risks can compromise a company's most valuable assets, including its intellectual property and its brand," said Bob Brennan, Chief Executive Officer, Veracode. "NSFOCUS' commitment to achieving high ratings in the Veracode VERAFIED Security Mark Program demonstrates the company's dedication to security and to protecting what is most valuable to its customers."

NSFOCUS' technology is relied upon by some of the world's most highly trafficked websites to detect and stop DDoS attacks in order to keep the world's economy functioning. The NSFOCUS ADS is able to analyze and divert abnormal traffic, whether application-layer or network-based, before it has an opportunity to interfere with normal business functionality.
