The VerAfied status offered by Veracode demonstrates that Nlyte is actively identifying and remediating application vulnerabilities to provide its customers with one of the highest levels of software assurance and security verification. This certification is a clear indicator to Nlyte's worldwide customers that the company's security has met or exceeded industry standards for security, reliability and compliance.
Nlyte's DCSM Web App solution exceeded the security score outlined in the Veracode Risk Adjusted Verification Methodology for an application at the high assurance level. Veracode's risk adjusted verification methodology is based on respected industry standards including MITRE's Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) for classification of software weaknesses and FIRST's Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) for severity and ease of exploitability and the National Institute of Technology's (NIST) definitions of assurance levels.
"We find that organizations frequently consider security when purchasing applications. For this reason, software vendors must find a way to demonstrate that their applications are built using secure development practices," said Chris Wysopal, CTO of Veracode. "The VerAfied mark tells the world that Nlyte has assessed application vulnerabilities and has complied with industry standards. More importantly, it lets customers know Nlyte is a solution they can trust to keep their critical data center information secure."
Nlyte is the leading DCSM solution provider for seamlessly automating data center operations and infrastructure into an enterprise's IT ecosystem.
