SANTA CLARA, CA -- 04/21/08 --
Cenzic, the leading provider of
application security vulnerability assessment and risk management
solutions, today announced the company has received five out of five stars
for its
Hailstorm Enterprise ARC (Application Risk Controller) 5.5 solution in a
product review conducted by SC Magazine. The product also received the
"Best Buy" designation among the products in the group, which included HP
WebInspect and IBM's Rational AppScan.
"We are thrilled to receive such an outstanding rating by a leading
security publication like SC Magazine," said John Weinschenk, CEO of
Cenzic. "It not only amplifies the amount of confidence we have in the
product, it highlights how Cenzic technology can aid organizations looking
to secure their Web applications continuously, from development throughout
production."
With more than 400 new application vulnerabilities discovered every month,
organizations need to continuously test to ensure that Web applications are
not at risk. Testing throughout the production stage is not only important,
it is essential. Hailstorm Enterprise ARC provides automated, continuous
security assessment of custom and commercial Web applications and works
throughout the software development lifecycle -- whether in development,
QA, or operations -- to help find and remediate security vulnerabilities,
guide enforcement of internal security policies and support regulatory
compliance. Additionally, because of Hailstorm Enterprise ARC 5.5's
integration with VMware Lab Manager and VirtualCenter, customers can test
for new vulnerabilities using a virtualized environment, allowing them to
test without disruption or downtime.
"With stories prompting increased attention, application vulnerability
assessment tools can help security stakeholders," said Nathan Ouellette, SC
Magazine contributing editor. "(Hailstorm Enterprise ARC 5.5's)
integration with VMware is a unique and useful feature."
SC Magazine's mission is to provide IT security professionals with in-depth
and unbiased information in one incomparable publication. Hailstorm
Enterprise ARC 5.5 was honored with its highest star rating of five overall
stars. In specific categories, the product scored five stars in Features,
Ease of Use, Support and Value for Money. The review stated that the
product was a "true enterprise-class product with impressive options and
customizations. SC Magazine recognizes Cenzic Hailstorm Enterprise ARC 5.5
as the group's Best Buy." The review also mentioned that no weaknesses were
