CA Technologies has said it will purchase software security firm Veracode for $614m.
The move is designed to give CA a strong position in the DevOps markets by letting firms integrated security testing from the start of software development cycles, rather than as an after-thought.
CA said it would use Veracode’s services to offer scalable application security testing (AST) as a cloud offering, which should enable companies to move faster with the development of applications and services.
« This acquisition will unify CA’s Security and DevOps portfolios with a SaaS-based platform that seamlessly integrates security into the software development process, » said Ayman Sayed, chief product officer at CA Technologies
Expanding on this in a blog post , Sayed noted that according to US government reports, 90 per cent of all security vulnerabilities stem from flaws in software.
