BURLINGTON, Mass.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Veracode, Inc., the leader in cloud-based application security testing, has named SecureKey Technologies Inc., PagosOnLine, and On-Line Strategies the most secure developers of 2012 for their commitment to building secure applications. Veracode instituted the annual award to recognize companies that have the most securely developed software applications in the small to mid –size business category. SecureKey Technologies Inc., PagosOnLine, and On-Line Strategies had the fewest flaws per megabyte of code when evaluated by Veracode out of 18,000 total applications scanned.
“We’ve created this award to recognize developers’ successes in properly implementing security features during the software development lifecycle,” said Veracode Co-Founder, CISO and CTO, Chris Wysopal. “Historically, security professionals used scanning and application testing tools to only point out flaws in the development process, but we believe this award will help recognize the positive work that developers are doing and celebrate our customer’s dedication to application security.”
SecureKey Technologies, Inc., a developer of software solutions that extend the power of chip-based identity and payment technologies to online and mobile transactions, PagosOnLine, a payment system that allows people access to e-commerce without having a credit card, and On-Line Strategies, a software and services company focused on processing complex, large volume and ultra, high-speed transactions in mission critical environments, each use Veracode to identify and fix security vulnerabilities. They also receive recommendations from Veracode on how to remediate applications quickly and produce more secure software.
The Most Secure Development Award honors Veracode’s small and mid-sized customers that have the highest security quality applications. To determine the winners, Veracode analyzed all of the applications scanned over the last three years; including applications built in Java, .Net, C, and C++, and calculated the flaw density of each application.
“As a provider of retail payments processing software, application security is extremely important to us. We depend on Veracode to ensure each of our PCI-related products is certified and audited,” said David Bergert, On-Line Strategies [OLS] Chief Technology Officer. “Receiving the Secure Development Award affirms our dedication to the highest standards and further assures our customers that payments software from OLS will always be secure and PCI /PA-DSS compliant.”
“We are honoured to have been selected for the Secure Development Award,” says SecureKey Technologies Inc., CEO Greg Wolfond. “We strive to allow our customers to use real-world payment and identity credentials with secure and convenient access, and this award will further demonstrate how safe, yet convenient, our applications are.”
This is the first year the Secure Development Awards has been presented. Winners were selected from a pool of Veracode’s 600 small and medium business customers.
