UltraEdit is CA Veracode Verified

We are 100% committed to protecting our customers.

The foundation of a strong and effective security program is to identify and “harden” high value assets. These are the “crown jewels” of a business – the assets most critical to operations and the source of trade and market success.

For many businesses, the software they use is the engine that powers those critical operations. For those using UltraEdit products, rest assured we understand the business imperative of secure computing and have hardened our products to enhance your secure operations. In partnership with CA Veracode, we have invested heavily in application security as well as fortification of our worldwide cloud distribution array to ensure our customers are protected in every aspect of downloading, updating, and using UltraEdit software.

Why should you consider an UltraEdit subscription? Besides being the most powerful and dependable editor on the market, your UltraEdit subscription is certified secure.

One lesson from the last year that many companies seemed to have learned is that cyber criminals don’t take time off. During the pandemic, cyberattacks increased with the FBI’s Cyber Division receiving between 3,000 and 4,000 cybersecurity complaints a day, compared to pre-pandemic rates of 1,000 per day.

The growing number of cyberattacks and security risks have companies moving to “zero trust” strategies. “Zero trust” is based on the principle of not granting access to services (IP addresses, machines, etc.) unless it is specifically given. This principle can also be combined with newer VPN technologies to further protect business and critical data.

While many of us would like to forget 2020, the amount and severity of cyberattacks cannot be forgotten. Network security teams need to make it harder for attackers to access critical information. By combining Zero Trust with publishers that invest in making their software products secure, companies can protect their business, critical data and remote workers.

At UltraEdit, we have unified security and development keeping companies that use our products safe and secure.

In our opinion, a commercially supported product should also include peace of mind. Thank you for trusting UltraEdit with your computing needs.

With approximately 30 percent of all breaches occurring as a result of a vulnerability at the application layer, software purchasers are demanding more insight into the security of the software they are buying. CA Veracode Verified empowers UltraEdit to demonstrate its commitment to creating secure software.

When purchasing software, customers and prospects are demanding to understand how secure the software is. As part of CA Veracode Verified, UltraEdit can now demonstrate through a seal and provide an attestation letter from an industry leader that the application has undergone security testing as part of the development practice. Additionally, participating in the program ensures that our software meets a high standard of application security, reducing risk for the customer.

Organizations that had their secure development practice validated, and their application accepted into the Standard Tier, have demonstrated that the following security gates have been implemented into their software development practice:

  • Assesses first-party code with static analysis
  • Documents that the application does not allow “Very High” flaws in first-party code
  • Provides developers with remediation guidance when new flaws are introduced

“UltraEdit is committed to delivering secure code to help organizations reduce the risk of a major security breach. Companies that invest in secure coding processes and follow our protocol for a mature application security program are able to deliver more confidence to customers who deploy their software,” said Asha May, CA Veracode.

 

At UltraEdit, we have taken the following three steps to protect our customers from application exploits:

 

  1. Incorporate security as a design / build covenant.
  2. Undertake extreme pressure testing via CA Veracode certification.
  3. Invest in ongoing security innovations to enhance our continuous security effectiveness.
