Ounce Labs Abandons Traditional Pricing to Radically Accelerate Enterprise Adoption of Static Application Security Testing


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."
