Waltham, MA, June 1, 2007 - Ounce Labs, the industry leader in software risk management, today announced that for the second year in a row it has been named to SD Times Magazine's annual 'SD Times 100' as the leader in the Security category. The SD Times 100 is a listing of companies, organizations and individuals that "set the agenda" for software development managers, developers, and the industry through leadership and innovation during the past year.
"The winners of this year's SD Times 100 awards have demonstrated their leadership in shaping the software development industry," said David Rubinstein, Editor-in-Chief of SD Times. "We took into account each nominee's products and services, its reputation among development managers, and the new ideas it brought out. These select individuals and organizations are the ones we've identified as helping to move the art of development forward."
The editors of SD Times further noted in the award citation, "Strong visualization and reporting capabilities mean that Ounce Labs' security scanner won't confuse the developers it was meant to help."
"We're honored to once again receive this industry recognition," said Hugh Scandrett, President and CEO of Ounce Labs. "Fixing application vulnerabilities is hard to do. Few organizations take the time to analyze code manually, while less sophisticated competing products overwhelm developers with false positives. Ounce is the only solution that identifies real vulnerabilities, enabling organizations to effectively reduce the risk that confidential information will be compromised by a security breach."
