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.
