| Fortify Offers Free Copies of Fortify 360 Fortify Software is offering a free copy of Fortify 360, which includes its source code analysis, program trace analysis, and real-time analysis, to any university for the purposes of education and research. To date, fifty-five universities worldwide — including Harvard, Stanford, University of California, Davis, Princeton and Purdue University — have successfully adopted the use of Fortify 360 into course material and research projects. Several U.S. and international universities have already integrated the use of Fortify 360 in college curricula and research projects. PurdueUniversity's Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS), currently viewed as one of the world's leading centers for research and education in information security, will incorporate the use of Fortify 360 in numerous classes and laboratories. Both NorthernKentuckyUniversity and the Polytechnic Institute of NYU have created secure software engineering classes based on Fortify 360, and many other schools are following suit. Both professors and students at leading universities are using Fortify 360 in their research. Experts at the University of Wisconsin are spearheading a project funded by the National Science Foundation to research vulnerability assessment techniques focusing on grid middleware software – a software run on many of the largest clusters or grids in the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
