CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SAVO Group, the market leader in sales productivity solutions, has earned the prestigious VerAfied security rating for its award-winning Mobile Sales Pro application. After a rigorous independent assessment by Veracode, SAVO Mobile Sales Pro was found to meet stringent requirements for secure enterprise software based on industry standards such as the OWASP Top 10.

Veracode is a leader in securing Web, mobile and third-party applications for the world's largest global enterprises. Veracode's automated cloud-based service and world-class experts enable organizations to rapidly address application-layer threats before cyberattackers can exploit them. The VerAfied mark signifies that a software provider has applied appropriate standards of due care in assessing its software and achieving a desired level of security. SAVO Mobile Sales Pro is the first application within the sales enablement market to have achieved VerAfied status.

"As organizations across every industry increasingly rely on Web, mobile and cloud applications as a source of competitive advantage, the threat surface available to cyberattackers has dramatically expanded," said Chris Wysopal, Veracode co-founder, CISO and CTO. "Chief information officers and chief security officers are increasingly concerned about reducing risk from commercial applications procured via their supply chain. The VerAfied mark tells current and prospective customers that SAVO is committed to secure coding practices and keeping its customers' data secure."

"Cyber threats evolve quickly. The numerous data breaches that occurred this past year highlight how security for any company is a delicate balancing act between managing business growth and anticipating ever-changing security risks," said Mona Rao, senior director of information security, SAVO. "There is no silver bullet to prevent all identified and unidentified security risks, but achieving a VerAfied rating for our Mobile Sales Pro application is yet another proof point of our dedication to better understanding, managing and remediating all potential risks as tomorrow's technology continues to evolve."
