Veracode SecurityInsights Receives Emerging Solution Award From CSO Magazine

New Application Intelligence Service Recognized for Excellence at CSO Perspectives Conference

Burlington, MA – April 21, 2010 – Veracode, Inc., provider of the world’s leading cloud-based application risk management services platform, today announced that Veracode SecurityInsights™, the first application intelligence service of its kind, received the 2010 Emerging Solution Award from CSO magazine at CSO Perspectives, an annual conference for security decision makers.

SecurityInsights is the only application intelligence service to provide executives with a better way to understand the threat space their application portfolio is facing. It enables Veracode customers to quantitatively compare the security of their applications against not only their peers, but also the rest of the world. With a click of the “Compare Me” button, SecurityInsights enables current Veracode customers to instantly compare their software portfolio against the aggregated security quality benchmarks from thousands of applications in their industry, programming language, third-party supplier and/or type of application.

All companies competing for the award presented their solutions and engaged in an intensive Q&A session with a panel of highly-respected judges including Bob Bragdon, publisher of CSO magazine, and Derek Slater, editor in chief of CSO magazine. The panel also featured the CSO of a business outsourcing solutions provider with hundreds of thousands of customers and nearly $9 billion in revenues; and the CSO of a healthcare organization with more than 25 hospitals and nearly 50,000 employees in the U.S.

“We appreciate this recognition from the CSO Perspectives’ judges and their acknowledgement of the innovative benefits that Veracode SecurityInsights delivers in terms of its impact on application security policy setting and as a source of information to support continuous application security improvement,” said Roger Oberg, senior vice president of marketing for Veracode. “It is yet one more way the power of cloud-based application risk management changes everything about the future of software quality and reliability.”
