Fortify’s University Program Fills Critical Gap in Developer Education Today
Fortify Software Offers Universities Free Security Software Fortify Software, the market leader in enterprise application security solutions for Business Software Assurance, announced today that it is offering a free copy of Fortify 360, which includes its award-winning source code analysis, program trace analysis, and real-time analysis, to any university for the purposes of education and research. To register for a free license, contact tmckinley@fortify.com . „Many companies are beginning to put a premium on developers that have been trained in writing secure code,” said Brian Chess, Fortify’s co-founder and chief scientist. “Universities that teach security are going to put their students ahead of the cure. Fortify is trying to help Universities, by supplying our software, and helping share best practices in terms of lesson plans, course material and sample projects.” Several U.S. and international universities have already integrated the use of Fortify 360 in college curricula and research projects. „Too many college level security classes focus on how to identify vulnerabilities instead of teaching students how to avoid them. But hiring managers are looking for programmers to write secure code,“ says Jennifer Bayuk, former CISO of Bear Stearns. “Fortify helps train future programmers how to protect systems rather than hack into them.” Quelle: Eskenzi PR |
