Broadleaf Commerce Achieves VerAfied Status for Creating Secure eCommerce Framework

Broadleaf Commerce, an Inc. 5000 enterprise eCommerce platform provider for custom commerce solutions, is proud to announce the company has earned VerAfied status from CA Veracode for the 5.0.0-GA of the eCommerce Framework. The newly achieved status demonstrates that Broadleaf Commerce is committed to developing secure applications for its customers, shortening its customers' sales cycle and giving them a competitive advantage over companies offering similar solutions.

The VerAfied status offered by CA Veracode validates Broadleaf Commerce's efforts to actively identify and remediate application vulnerabilities and provide its customers with one of the highest levels of software assurance and security verification. This is a clear indicator to Broadleaf clients that the company's security standards have met or exceeded industry standards for security, and compliance.

As the leading provider of custom enterprise eCommerce platform solutions, it is imperative that clients and potential clients know that the framework is secure. Broadleaf sought VerAfied status as it is the most trusted testimony to a secure application and would provide Broadleaf users confirmation that they are protected.

"The security of Broadleaf Commerce users is our highest priority," stated Jeff Fischer, CTO of Broadleaf Commerce. "We are proud to be VerAfied and continue to provide that level of security to our clients."

"We are finding that CIOs and CSOs are asking their purchasing teams to take security into consideration when procuring new applications. For this reason it is important that software vendors find a way to demonstrate that their software is built using secure development practices," said Chris Wysopal, co-founder and CTO, CA Veracode. "The VerAfied mark tells the world that Broadleaf Commerce is assessing for application vulnerabilities and complying with industry standards, but more importantly, it lets customers know Broadleaf Commerce is a vendor they can trust to keep their data secure."
