"By undergoing certification of their technology, Axeda has made information security a key component of its solutions," says Brian Costello, vice president, VeriSign Global Security Consulting. "Certification is not easy and requires an intensive focus on protecting critical applications from known threats. VeriSign commends Axeda on their diligence and success in this process."

The VeriSign Security Certification process assesses the security controls of the DRM application, providing third-party validation that Axeda is adhering to industry standards and best practices that protect its customers from unnecessary risk. The certification covers three core areas of focus on Axeda's technology:

• Application Architecture Design Analysis - review of security in how the application was architected

• Application Code Review – review of DRM source code for known security flaws and vulnerabilities

• Application Level Assessment – detailed testing for known security vulnerabilities in web-based applications

Axeda products are deployed across many industries that demand world-class security including financial services, medical, high technology, and government/homeland security.  The VeriSign certification enables Axeda customers to accelerate adoption in their own customer base by proactively addressing concerns about remote service security.

"Security spans all aspects of our company and has always been a critical component in the solutions we deliver to our customers," said Dale Calder, president and CEO, Axeda Corporation. "The comprehensive and independent VeriSign Security Certification provides added assurance to our customers that the integrity of their information and systems will be protected, helping them speed deployment and adoption of their remote service programs."
