EclipseSource Introduces Security for Open Source Downloads

Mar 24, 2009 – Santa Clara, California – EclipseSource, the leading provider of Eclipse runtime products and services, today announced Yoxos SecureSource, a subscription-based service that provides secure access to a repository of certified open source plug-ins. The new service provides development teams with secured, reliable access to an uncompromised and consistent code base and is designed to alleviate concerns about source code authenticity and origin.

Yoxos SecureSource will be offered in three editions to meet the different needs of open source users:

Certified Edition: Content signed and accessed via a secure repository
Trusted Edition: Content analyzed for malicious code. License tracking for plug-ins
AuditReady Edition: Content analyzed for external reach and malicious behavior. Content prepared using rigorous, documented, regulatory compliant process

"This is something that our clients and the community have been asking for,” said Jochen Krause, CEO of EclipseSource. “Providing this extra layer of security removes one of the last significant hurdles to open source adoption.”

"SecureSource is a natural extension to EclipseSource's Yoxos Enterprise distribution technology", said Jeff McAffer, CTO of EclipseSource. “Yoxos Enterprise guarantees you easy access to the bundles you need, and Yoxos SecureSource guarantees that what you are using is the genuine, unaltered orginal.”
