According to Danny Sabbah, general manager, IBM Rational software, "Watchfire is a recognised industry leader in the security and compliance market that will further strengthen our ability to help customers mitigate risk by integrating security, quality testing and compliance testing requirements early in the software development process - before vulnerabilities are exposed." Announcing the deal, IBM said: "Watchfire technology will extend IBM’s governance and risk management strategy with broad security and compliance capabilities integrated into the software development lifecycle. Watchfire with IBM Rational software will help customers integrate web application security and compliance early on and throughout the software development process. As a result, customers will now be able to define, test and track the compliance of their applications with security, legal and corporate requirements." According to IBM, "Watchfire technology will also complement existing IBM Tivoli identity, access and compliance management software offerings and ISS by extending security and compliance testing as an integrated element of the application development lifecycle." Watchfire is already a 'Ready for IBM Rational software' business partner. The company was founded in 1996 and claims more than 800 customers in many industries including financial services, government, technology, pharmaceutical, energy and utilities, education, and manufacturing. |
