# Ounce Labs

Ounce Labs (an IBM company) is a Waltham, Massachusetts-based security software vendor. The company was founded in 2002 and created a software analysis product that analyzes source code to identify and remove security vulnerabilities.

On July 28, 2009, Ounce was acquired by IBM, for an undisclosed sum, with the intention of integrating it into IBM's Rational Software business.
