TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 28, 2016) - Savvy security professionals know that security must be addressed from the onset of application development to ensure applications are protected against the onslaught of common vulnerabilities and exposures. Today, application security provider Security Compass announced the latest release of SD Elements, designed to provide security and development teams of all sizes access to the industry's most comprehensive and constantly updated security content available. The newly architected platform is available in three tiers -- Enterprise, Professional and Express -- and provides advanced, integrated training as well as greater usability and performance.
"It is critical that security concerns be addressed early during the requirements and design phases of application development, not just during testing and release," said Rohit Sethi, chief operating officer at Security Compass. "Since our inception more than 10 years ago, Security Compass has been committed to helping our customers build world-class security programs. The latest enhancements to SD Elements makes secure software development more accessible to companies of all sizes and delivers greater performance for our customers."

Progress is tracked per user via an integrated, lightweight learning management system.
● New Architecture and Improved, Easy-to-Use Interface. SD Elements 4 features a new user interface that is both beautiful and functional, making it much easier and faster to navigate through projects and security content. A new plug-in framework has been developed to enable deep enterprise customization.
