Software Quality Pioneer Recognized for Application Security 
Innovation and Industry Leadership

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, Inc., the software integrity
company, today announced that it has been named to the 2009 SD Times 100 in
recognition of its leadership in application security. The SD Times 100
recognizes companies, non-commercial organizations and other influencers for
their innovation and leadership within industry categories that most broadly
"set the agenda" for software development managers, developers, and the
software development industry during the past calendar year.

"SD Times 100 winners' products and services advance the art of software
development," said Alan Zeichick, editorial director, SD Times. "Leadership
and innovation can't be measured by stock valuations or analyst reports. The
SD Times 100 represents what we believe to be the best of the best. We looked
for companies that have determined a direction that developers follow and that
set the industry agenda."

Coverity provides advanced software integrity and source code analysis
technology that removes the barriers to writing and delivering high integrity
software. Development teams at more than 600 customer sites rely on Coverity
to automatically find and help to eliminate quality, security and performance
problems early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). 

Coverity's flagship solution, the Coverity Integrity Center, helps ensure
application security in the design, code, build and test phases of the
software development process. It combines powerful architecture, build, static
and dynamic analysis capabilities that enable development teams to decrease
cost, accelerate time-to-market, reduce risk and ensure compliance. 

"We are pleased the SD Times staff has recognized Coverity for reshaping the
way developers eliminate security risks in the software that runs their
products, systems, and businesses," said Dave Peterson, CMO at Coverity.
"There is a clear shift to attacking software security problems early in the
lifecycle to avoid costly rework created by late stage security audit reviews
and testing. Coverity is unique in the application security market because our
technology identifies vulnerabilities in the design, development, build and
delivery stage of software development - enabling our customers to realize
millions in cost savings."
