Do you want to build a web application, but aren’t sure if it’ll fit within your IT team’s security standards? WaveMaker Inc., an enterprise Rapid Application Development Platform software company, has deployed two major improvements to its enterprise-class Rapid App Development platform designed to help.
This newly developed platform is built with a foundation in application security, and now supports Single-Sign On for WaveMaker-built and deployed applications using Central Authentication Server (CAS). This permits its users to access multiple applications by providing credentials such as UserID and password only once.
“Security was once an afterthought in application design, but those days are long past,” said Vijay Pullur, CEO, WaveMaker, “Still, vestiges of those days remain, as the primary objective of application design, in the eyes of most developers, is to ensure that the application performs continuously and under heavy demand. But security cannot be exempted from that objective. That’s why WaveMaker believes that security must be a cornerstone of good application design, and a major component in ensuring software quality before an app goes live.”
Because enterprises are increasingly challenged by the need to deliver new web applications rapidly while ensuring compliance with enterprise IT security teams, the company has built application security into the initial release of its RAD platform, and subsequently strengthened its security with enterprise-class, RAD-based application security. Also WaveMaker has developed CAS-based Single Sign-On furthers the company’s commitment to provide the highest level of application security while simplifying application access for users.
Gemalto, a digital software and IoT security company that works to give apps the highest security, weighed in on WaveMaker’s security. “In the heat of the battle to expedite new apps to market, ‘rapid’ has become the mantra of many developers, both professional and non-professional,” said Didier Tournier, Product Marketing Manager, Gemalto (News - Alert). “But developers can’t afford the risk of sacrificing security for speed. From the beginning, WaveMaker’s RAD platform has encompassed security, not as a bolt-on, but as part of an integrated whole. We’re confident that our developers using WaveMaker can focus on creating great apps, and won’t have to obsess over the latest security risks.”
