Arxan recently announced that it was targeting the European market at a time when levels of global software piracy and tampering have reached unprecedented levels, compliance regulation is demanding close scrutiny of software applications and malware attacks are exponentially increasing.

In joining the Federation Arxan is demonstrating its firm commitment to the market and its willingness to engage with the UK software community. Further, it also intends to make available to other Federation members its Yellow Team Service.

Yellow Team engagements begin with a complimentary Cracked Software Investigation (CSI) report. Arxan’s dedicated CSI team uncovers products which may have been cracked, as well as where counterfeit versions are being sold and how freely they are shared on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.

Enterprises need to mitigate risk around software tampering for unauthorised access, which can jeopardise regulatory compliance, sales and lead to malware insertion.

Together, Yellow Team Services and GuardIT form a comprehensive protection strategy for software publishers to better understand their software piracy challenges and regain control of their software.

* The Federation Against Software Theft was formed in 1984 making it the world’s first anti-piracy organisation. It is a not-for-profit organisation that is limited by guarantee and wholly owned by its members, and works on many fronts to promote the legitimate use of software and protect its members’ rights through education, enforcement, lobbying and promoting standards and best practice in business.

The Federation’s own Legal Advisory Group (FLAG), which consists of 30 law firms engaged in IT/IP and operating in the UK and overseas, reinforces legal expertise.
