WALTHAM, Massachusetts, October 28 /PRNewswire/ --

Ounce Labs, the industry leader in static application security testing (SAST), today announced a dramatic shift in its pricing and licensing models, resulting in markedly lower costs and complexity for customers of their Ounce 6 solution, the industry's most advanced Static Application Security Testing suite.

We intend to accelerate enterprise adoption and make source code analysis more accessible for every company concerned with application security, from the smallest shops to the largest enterprises. The new pricing schedule will speed time to value and ensure that every organization can afford, deploy, and capitalize on source code scanning to protect their critical data, said CEO, Gary Jackson.

For companies using custom-built, outsourced, or open source applications in-house, ensuring all current and legacy code is secure is no small challenge, says Michael Montecillo, CEH, EnCE Analyst Security and Risk Management, Enterprise Management Associates. But an equal challenge has been the availability of affordable source code analysis tools to improve the speed and accuracy of code review. Vendors like Ounce Labs who work to simplify pricing in a time of economic uncertainty are showing leadership by demonstrating that they are clearly putting their customers' best interests first.

Our expectation is to add 1,000 new customers in 2009 and 10,000 companies over 5 years. Competitors will undoubtedly try to protect their existing pricing by describing this as a desperate measure, but for Ounce Labs, this is the ideal time to drive this change, says Jackson. We have just completed a significant round of funding that allows us to build the infrastructure to support this model, and we have the benefit of a record Q3 in new business and revenue growth. I don't have to explain what the economic conditions are doing to our customers' budgets, and we won't sit by passively while thousands of companies remain exposed, when they could be benefiting from these advanced security tools.
