Veracode Licenses Security Innovation's eLearning Suite to Deliver Full-Spectrum Application Security and Security Education

Veracode, Inc. and Security Innovation today jointly announced a partnership to license the Security Innovation eLearning suite to Veracode through its "Powered by SI" program. As the leader in cloud-based application security testing, Veracode will bolster its application risk management offering with technology and role-based curriculum bundles from Security Innovation's eLearning platform that includes its TeamProfessor^TM computer-based training library, the industry's largest.

As part of this agreement, Veracode will sell four targeted bundles of computer-based training with its Veracode SecurityReview Platform to its customers - a Fundamentals Introductory Track, an Awareness & Management Track, a Design & Development Track, and a Testing & Validation Track. As a result, Veracode customers will have access to over 50 hours of TeamProfessor course content across four tracks, in addition to the more than 3,000 application security-specific guidance assets for remediation that are included in each Veracode eLearning subscription.

"We are partnering with Security Innovation because of the depth and breadth of their solutions, along with how seamlessly their suite aligns with our application security platform," said Bob Brennan, CEO, Veracode. "Our customers rely on us to provide the very best code analysis capabilities across multiple applications in sophisticated environments. We understand that it takes a combination of technology, process and people to drive a shift in behavior, and to impact how secure applications are. SI gives us the ability to deliver a timely, relevant training curriculum alongside a remediation and guidance platform that makes this integrated offering unlike any other the industry has seen."

"We've seen the demand for our eLearning product rise dramatically over the past two years, and the reason is because we explicitly focus on application-level security," said Fred Pinkett, vice president, product management, Security Innovation. "Partnering with an industry leader like Veracode is a validation that applications have not only become most susceptible to internal and external attacks, but that organizations are realizing how costly exploiting vulnerabilities can be when they are not caught in the development phase. We are pleased to help Veracode deliver this value to their customers that will train developers, designers, testers and architects to prioritize security wile coding software."

Both companies will present a joint webinar on Thursday, February 9th that will address how organizations can take a more holistic approach to application security in 2012 by integrating code analysis, remediation and developer training together with a goal of overall risk reduction as it pertains to enterprise applications. Specifically, attendees will learn the top five ways organizations can implement an application security training program, some universal objectives to strive for (and measure against) and how to use the training as a springboard into remediating vulnerabilities and bugs.

About Security Innovation

Security Innovation is an established leader in the application security and cryptography space. For over a decade the company has provided products, training and consulting services to help organizations build and deploy more secure systems and improve the process by which their applications are built.

Security Innovation built upon its core competencies in application security with the acquisition of NTRU CryptoSystems in 2009, a company that developed proprietary, standardized algorithms. This resulted in the strongest and fastest public key cryptography available and the means to overcome historical performance barriers that have plagued the encryption industry. With these core strengths intact, Security Innovation is in a position to help organizations protect their data at two critical points: while applications are accessing it and during transmission. The company's flagship products include TeamProfessor, the industry's largest library of application security eLearning courses, and TeamMentor, a web-based secure development methodologies product.

Security Innovation is privately held and is headquartered in Wilmington, MA USA.
