Appistry and Ounce Labs Join Forces to Assure High Level of Security for Application Fabric Customers

Appistry's Choice of Ounce Demonstrates Commitment to Reinforcing Source Code Security

Waltham, MA and St. Louis, MO, July 25, 2006 – Ounce Labs, the leader in software security assurance, and Appistry, the pioneer and leading provider of application fabric software, today announced that Appistry is licensing and deploying Ounce Labs' security assurance software for use on its Appistry Enterprise Application Fabric (Appistry EAF) software. With a commitment to the quality and security of the applications it delivers, Appistry will use the Ounce solution to proactively scan its source code to assure that it meets the company's strict security standards before it is shipped.

Appistry's application fabric software products enable customers in industries such as financial services, intelligence, defense, and telecommunications to more easily and cost-effectively deploy large-scale, time-critical applications across a virtualized "grid" of commodity-grade computers. Since organizations rely so heavily on the data processed by these applications, security is critical to ensure that Appistry's customers are able to take full advantage of the scalability, dependability and manageability provided by Appistry EAF.

"Considering the frequency of attacks targeting applications, security is an absolute necessity in the design and testing of software products," said Sam Charrington, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing for Appistry. "With Ounce, we can quickly scan huge amounts of code and certify it for delivery without having to interrupt our development or delivery processes. The product provides detailed reports across our entire application portfolio, so we can track the impact of our security efforts."

"We're pleased to help companies like Appistry that are taking a proactive approach to delivering secure products for their customers," said Hugh Scandrett, CEO of Ounce Labs. "As software makers realize the tremendous security advantages and long-term cost benefits achieved with source code analysis, we expect to see even larger portions of the market following Appistry's lead."
