SecureKey Technologies a Winner of Veracode's Inaugural Secure Development Award
Winners recognized for highest application security quality among SMB customers
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/01/12 -- SecureKey Technologies Inc., a developer of secure authentication solutions that extend the power of chip-based identity and payment credentials to online and mobile transactions, was honoured as one of the most secure developers of 2012 for their commitment to building secure applications. SecureKey was one of only three companies, out of 18,000 total applications scanned, that was recognized for having the fewest flaws per megabyte of code when evaluated by Veracode, the leader in cloud-based application security testing.
"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 is creating an authentication ecosystem that allows users to identify themselves securely using existing credentials through trusted terminals - phones, tablets, and laptops - equipped with secure memory and SecureKey software.
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.
"SecureKey's innovative solution for authentication, identity, and payments is pioneering an ecosystem of trust," said Greg Wolfond, CEO of SecureKey Technologies Inc. "We are thrilled to be recognized for the hard work we are doing here."
SecureKey provides an innovative platform-as-a-service for authentication, payment and identity.
