PivX Solutions, Creators of Proactive Threat Mitigation, have Teamed Up with Graff and Van Wyk, the Authors of 'Secure Coding,' to Offer Secure Coding Training Seminars
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 3, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- PivX Solutions CEO Rob Shively is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Mark Graff and Kenneth Van Wyk, the highly accomplished secure coding experts and authors of the definitive book on the subject, titled, "Secure Coding: Principles and Practices". PivX will begin offering one and two day seminars to clients in the software industry.
Recently PivX has created a new genre in the cyber security space called Proactive Threat Mitigation. "It is a major paradigm shift. Everything we are focused on at the present time is proactive," says Shively. "From the development of new proactive security tools such as Qwik Fix to educating coders and clients to the dangers of the status quo, we are on a mission to prevent problems before they occur. The seminar series developed by Graff and Van Wyk dovetails very nicely with our focus on Proactive Threat Mitigation. Doesn't it make sense to make a small investment up front that will save companies time, money, downtime and lost productivity? The Secure Coding Seminar Series is another huge step in that direction," maintains Shively.
Leading Anti-Virus software company Trend Micro reported that damage caused as a direct result of Worms and Viruses was pegged at $55 billion in 2003. That represents a $20 billion increase over 2002 damages . . . according to British security firm mi2g, MyDoom has caused over $37 billion in damages in one week. Thus, the need for a paradigm shift.
