  SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 30 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Armorize Technologies Inc., a global leader in web application security
solutions, has released a free version of its source code analysis
solution, CodeSecure, which caters to non-commercial, educational, and
individual use. 

    In response to increasing global web malware threats documented by both
Armorize and researchers throughout the security community, Armorize has
released a free community version of CodeSecure to the non-commercial
space. This community version is intended to help users combat web
malware and prevent web attacks by assisting vulnerability remediation
efforts at the source code level.

    "Today's Web applications are malware invitations, riddled with insecure
code that hackers thrive on," said Wayne Huang, CEO of Armorize, "because
of this Armorize has made a notable contribution to the security
community by providing versions of CodeSecure which meet the needs of
non-commercial organizations, as well as SMB and Enterprises alike." 

    According to a Web Application Security Statistics report published by
WASC (The Web Application Security Consortium) "...automatic scanning
detected up to 86% sites with one or some vulnerabilities..."(1) and
white box analysis tools such as source code analysis "...detect up to 91
vulnerabilities per web application..."(2) illustrating the size and
scope of the security problem that is ubiquitous across all industries
and all segments of the market. 

    The newly released, CodeSecure Community Edition, provides security
researchers, developers and the open-source community with a powerful new
solution capable of pinpointing web app source code vulnerabilities,
which was previously only available to enterprise level customers with
large security budgets.

    In addition to the free version that's now available on Armorize's
official website, Armorize has created several affordable price models
which are aimed to provide a commercial offering to small-medium
businesses and small software development houses. These low-price models
give SMBs access to effective, enterprise grade solutions necessary to
harden their web applications, making them more resilient to web malware
and web application attacks.
