Protecting Your Most Valuable Assets

Company information. Customer data. Brand. Shareholder value.

The demands for ubiquitous connectivity create new, unforeseen vulnerabilities.

Today's business pace relies on complex networks and technologies to carry out corporate strategies. Global economies and time zone-indifferent enterprises mandate anywhere-anytime access to information and communications.

Software security and quality have direct business consequences.

In 2006 software vulnerabilities spiked 39%¹. What used to be nuisance attacks have become major, organized cybercrime. Not only can't all exploits be stopped with a firewall, 78% of IT executives surveyed report insider breaches². And performance issues have cost companies both money and customers. Late or failed software projects impact time-to-market and productivity.

Cigital believes that software security and quality must be built in, not "bolted-on." We align critical software needs to your business goals. Since 1992 our consulting expertise has assisted world-class organizations with:

• Software reviews of business-critical technology
• Software testing best practices and automation
• Secure SDLC implementation
