Introduction
In today's digital age, software security is not just an option, but a necessity. At Key Metric Software, we understand the level of trust our customers place in us when they choose our software products, and we are fully committed to maintaining that trust. Security is not an afterthought — it's embedded in every stage of our development process.
Built in a Secure Environment
All Key Metric Software products are crafted in a secure, controlled development environment. Our systems are protected by robust authentication measures and access is restricted to authorized, on-site personnel only. Importantly, all development work is conducted in-house, ensuring no aspect of the process is outsourced to third-party developers or contractors.
We take proactive steps throughout the entire software lifecycle to maintain a secure environment:
- Logging, monitoring, and auditing all access to our development systems.
- Keeping systems up-to-date with the latest security patches.
- Employing defensive coding techniques to guard against common vulnerabilities.
- Conducting rigorous code reviews and automated testing to validate software integrity.
- Utilizing cutting-edge security tools, such as static code analysis, to identify and eliminate potential threats.
- Evaluating and monitoring all third-party software dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
Native Windows Desktop Software
FolderSizes is a native Windows desktop application. This means that it runs directly on your Windows computer, without the need for a web browser or any other software. Native Windows applications are inherently more secure than web applications because they run in a controlled environment and do not rely on external systems.
Other native windows applications developed by Key Metric Software include:
- Permissions Reporter - File system permissions auditing software for Windows.
- FolderSizes - Disk space analysis, reporting, and visualization software for Windows.
- SQL Backup Master - Easy, reliable off-site SQL Server backup software for Windows.
- Duplicate File Detective - File system deduplication software for Windows.
