CAMPBELL, CA — (Marketwire) — 10/21/11 — , the leading provider of Web application security vulnerability assessment and risk management solutions, today announced it has teamed up with hybrid cloud security provider, Security On-Demand to offer free Web application and network vulnerability scans in support of National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
“We welcome the opportunity to raise awareness around cybersecurity and are excited to join Cenzic and other organizations who are educating others on the importance of protecting our nation-s infrastructure,” said Peter Bybee, CEO of Security On-Demand. “Attacks this year by Anonymous and similar splinter groups have made cybersecurity concerns mainstream. It-s important to understand that a majority of these attacks were played out due to vulnerabilities that should have been known and addressed.”
“We are excited to have Security On-Demand participate in this initiative to spread the word,” said Mandeep Khera, CMO of Cenzic. “We all need to work together to educate companies in understanding security issues around their Web infrastructure. Hackers are winning the battle right now. These awareness efforts will help companies slowly get ahead of the hacker curve.”
While most security technologies play a defensive role and are reactive in nature, regular and consistent vulnerability scanning should be a proactive and vital part of a vulnerability risk management program. As part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Security On-Demand is offering all organizations that sign up by October 31, a free external network vulnerability scan along with a severity report in PDF format. The offering is designed to proactively identify where vulnerabilities may exist on networks from an external perspective.
Similarly, for a limited time, Cenzic is also extending their Healthcheck program to provide a free application vulnerability assessment performed by Cenzic Web security experts using the company-s ClickToSecure managed service solution. As part of the Healthcheck, Cenzic will scan the Web pages of participating organizations to check for some of the most common application vulnerabilities or “holes” that hackers can exploit. Then, participants will receive a free PDF report containing a summary of the website-s “holes” (security flaws) and easy-to-read severity charts, along with a prioritized listing of the most vulnerable website URLs and a detailed description of each security flaw and remediation suggestions.
