Secure Software is the Platinum Sponsor of the Software Security Summit.

Donna Esposito, Director of Events of BZ Media, said, "We're delighted to welcome Secure Software as the platinum sponsor for this key event. Their support demonstrates the industry's recognition of the importance of software security, and of this new conference which focuses on the practical questions of how to write secure software, and how to secure the software you already own."
