DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Optiv Security, a market-leading provider of end-to-end cyber security solutions, today announced the general availability of Optiv Secure Coding Powered by CA Veracode, a leader in securing the world’s software and acquired by CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA). The innovative, web-based training curriculum enables organizations to optimize their software security investments to get maximum efficiency while reducing cost. The offering helps minimize risk associated with software applications by ensuring clients build security practices into the development lifecycle, while complying with regulations that hold companies accountable for standard application security policies.
“Software vulnerabilities continue to be a leading target for cyber attackers, and application security defects have become one of the top information security issues facing organizations today,” said Phil Brass, practice director, application security for Optiv. “To stay ahead of the risks associated with the application layer, companies must manage and maintain the security of every application deployed. Optiv Secure Coding Powered by CA Veracode is unique way for our clients to create a safer, saner and more strategic path for their software security training programs and get the most value from those investments.”
Optiv Secure Coding Powered by CA Veracode courses focus on educating software developers, testers and security team leads on how to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. As a result, organizations can develop more secure applications at every stage of the software development lifecycle. They also can quickly onboard new employees, including geographically diverse and remote development teams, with the security knowledge needed to help prevent a potential breach. With this curriculum, Optiv helps clients optimize and rationalize current investments and future cyber requirements related to software security programs while reducing their risk of a breach.
“Today, application security is a critical component in the software development lifecycle, and DevOps teams are looking to develop the necessary skills to ensure the secure delivery of software at the speed of business,” said Leslie Bois, ývice president of global channels and alliances for Veracode. “CA Veracode’s 2017 State of Software Security Report found that just the act of going through simple eLearning modules about common vulnerabilities can help a developer improve their fix rate by 19.4 percent above those who don’t have access to eLearning. Optiv has a proven track record of helping companies improve their application security programs, and we are proud to support their efforts to further enhance their clients’ software security initiatives through eLearning.”
Optiv’s comprehensive suite of general security awareness training and software security services help organizations protect their most critical enterprise applications from both internal and external threats.
