Seinfeld's Character Warns "No S.O.U.P. for You!" or the Enterprise

At the Veracode booth, visitors will learn how to protect the enterprise from insecure Software of Unknown Pedigree (S.O.U.P.), which can lead to customer data loss, gaps in defense against hackers, and even corporate intellectual property theft. Visitors will also have the opportunity to have their photo taken with Seinfeld's irreverent soup chef, Larry Thomas, and learn why Veracode cautions "no S.O.U.P. for you!" for today's enterprises.

Free Mobile Gaming App

Also in the booth, visitors will have an opportunity to play "SOUP Assault" a free mobile gaming app that challenges participants to dodge a gauntlet of hazards and race to escape the attacking S.O.U.P. while collecting security budget and boosting their security know-how. The app is also available for download from the Apple (News - Alert) App Store.
