Symosis Releases New Interactive Security Training Offerings

June 9, 2008 - PRLog -- Orange County, California  - Symosis today announced the general availability of three new Computer Based Interactive Training modules for Software QA and Development teams seeking to enhance their computer security programming skills.  Software security has steadily evolved into a key focus area for organizations that develop, test, and support applications and products.  Information security vulnerabilities are introduced during the programming phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), discovery unfortunately usually comes after an application has gone live.  Focusing on improving coding methods and testing techniques by training developers and QA engineers to address security during the SDLC is a widely accepted means to address one of the systemic issues, but to date this training is difficult to measure and is limited in both availability and affordability.

“Our customers ask for simple and secure solutions to make their SDLC smarter in regards to security.  All of the books and conferences tell them to adopt secure coding practices but fail to provide an effective means for execution” said Clinton Mugge, CEO, Symosis, Inc.  “Our scalable solution empowers companies to affect change at the point where it is most effective for creating more secure products, the individual level, at an exponentially lower cost.   Coupled with the elimination of the need for travel to an offsite course, the cost savings is significantly stronger further supporting the initial expenditure and TCO during the license period.”

The Symosis CBT modules address the most prevalent security topics applications suffer from in today’s Web 2.0.  Delivered as a service-on-demand, students login anywhere over the internet and progress through the content at their own pace.  The modules include games, quizzes, toolkits, videos, and can be further customized to match company policies and procedures, enhancing the relevance and impact.  Participation is controlled through a detailed management module that allows the observation of individual training progress either at employee or group level.   By coupling the course content with the management module, Symosis is pioneering the concept of true observation of ROI by providing an effective means to measure the impact of employee comprehension of application security in real time.
