About Aveksa

Aveksa was founded by a team of identity and access management pioneers, whose successful track records include Netegrity, Banyan Systems and PowerSoft. They recognized that businesses are struggling to achieve good security governance across the enterprise and to manage the risk of inappropriate access to enterprise information assets.

To help security teams and business managers collaborate on these objectives, Aveksa has focused on the automation of the many critical, yet manual tasks associated with access governance, risk and compliance management across the enterprise. We believe that in order to rapidly respond to security and regulatory demands, organizations need Enterprise Access Governance - robust, auditable business processes that enable policy-based automation and deliver visibility into who has access to what; how they got that access; whether they should have access; and whether security and compliance objectives are being met.

Fortify 360 from Fortify Software helps enterprises ensure their software is invulnerable to these attacks. Fortify 360 accurately identifies the location of vulnerabilities in software; provides ongoing intelligence about emerging threats and vulnerabilities and helps enterprises manage the business of assuring application security. This in turn dramatically reduces the threat of catastrophic financial loss and damage to reputation as well as ensuring timely compliance with government and industry mandates. www.fortify.com
