Programmer's Paradise Named as First Reseller to Distribute Sanctum's Leading Automated Security Testing Tool for Developers
Santa Clara, CALIF. — June 2, 2003 -
Sanctum, Inc., the established leader in automated Web application security firewall
and testing software, today announced their channel program to support distribution
of AppScan Developer Edition (DE)�, the industry's first software product to automate
security testing during real time application development. Fully integrated
into the widely-used Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment, AppScan DE enables
application developers to rapidly create secure Web applications that redefine
industry standards for quality. The specialty channel program will supplement
Sanctum's eStore (www.sanctuminc.com) to ensure that partners can deliver
the most advanced application security solutions to their worldwide customers.
"Security has become an accepted part of the developer vocabulary. After leading
innovation in the area of application security for the last six years, Sanctum knows
the market inside and out and has now delivered the silver bullet-a security testing
tool that doesn't disrupt the developers' current coding process," said Jeff Largiader,
Programmer's Paradise, VP of Corporate Sales and Marketing. "We are pleased to
add Sanctum's AppScan DE to our world class portfolio of developer tools."
"The interest in Sanctum's AppScan DE from the .NET Framework developer community
has been growing significantly as more and more enterprise and independent
developers realize the power of an in-line security testing tool," said Mike Kass, product
manager for the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. "As demand
for security testing tools like AppScan continues to grow, it's essential that vendors
continue to provide flexible distribution options. We are pleased to see Sanctum
and Programmer's Paradise partnering to deliver AppScan DE to all segments
of the Visual Studio .NET marketplace."
About AppScan DE
Designed with the qualities needed to make a developer's work more secure without
making it more complicated, AppScan DE integrates into the Visual Studio .NET 2003
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and tests applications built with any of
the languages supported by Visual Studio .NET. AppScan DE can be quickly configured
to unit test any Web application for security defects directly from within
the IDE. After identifying the location of each defect, AppScan DE delivers
in-line fix recommendations, provides detailed descriptions and enables the
developer to perform granular analyses of each test and response. AppScan DE
helps make enterprise applications resistant to attack without destroying any
of their functionality, elegance or effectiveness.
"Application security has evolved over the last several years, as Sanctum has
consistently innovated and driven the market standard for helping customers to
integrate security throughout the application lifecycle," said Steve Orrin,
Sanctum CTO. "AppScan DE is a perfect complement to the Sanctum solution set,
offering customers of all sizes, from SMB to large enterprises, the opportunity to
buy the full suite, or any mix of, Sanctum's solutions under an enterprise license.
Our channel relationships with partners such as Programmer's Paradise will enable us
to continue to provide competitive pricing, along with a tailored application security
solution to meet all customers' needs."
