Web-based Training Courses Enable Companies to
Enhance Security Practices in Application Development Lifecycles
and Meet Secure Coding Compliance Requirements
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. Optiv’s dedicated team of software security
consultants deliver services that include assessments, software
development lifecycle program review and implementation,
