- New partnerships highlight demand for comprehensive website vulnerability management across industries -

SANTA CLARA, CA. – August 13, 2007 – WhiteHat Security today announced it has expanded its alliance program by adding six new technology and consulting organizations to its partner roster.  WhiteHat’s partner program allows information security consultants, value-added resellers, and managed service providers to offer its complete website vulnerability management service, WhiteHat Sentinel, as part of their existing solutions.  The new partnerships are testament to the growing demand for comprehensive website vulnerability assessments as an integral part of an effective security posture.

WhiteHat’s new partners include:

  • Argo Strategic Management, provider of solutions for network optimization, business continuity and security;
  • Business Partner Solutions,  which connects companies with best of breed security solutions for information and asset protection;
  • Chief Security Officers, one of the world's leading providers of audit, forensic, security, and compliance services;
  • KSR, the first Managed Risk Services Provider (MRSP) to expertly align organizations' unique risk profiles with a new breed of managed and professional services designed to mitigate corporate and personal liability;
  • Network Computing Architects’ Information Security Practice specializes in the development of Information Security Management Systems; and,
  • SecTheory, which combines cutting edge security theory with practical enterprise security tactics to assess and address complex security issues with professional security consulting.

WhiteHat Sentinel is the most comprehensive, timely, and cost-effective way to gather and manage website vulnerability information.  Sentinel is the only solution that integrates technology and security experts into an iterative system that provides ongoing, scalable, complete website vulnerability management.

“As Web-enabled applications continue to evolve, so do the associated risks,” said Richard Popp, president, Argo Strategic Management.  “WhiteHat allows us to address these risks with a highly accurate, easy to use vulnerability management platform.  Additionally, the rating system for vulnerabilities discovered and the associated threat levels helps us easily prioritize during the remediation process.”

“Customers know that Web application security is a timely and serious issue.  The only way to have a sustainable and complete view into vulnerabilities is with a service,” said Katherine Bluma, president of Business Partner Solutions.  “Website code has so many complex business logic vulnerabilities requiring human identification and intervention.  A scanner alone just won’t cut it anymore.  That is why we are partnering with WhiteHat.”

The WhiteHat Sentinel service is the only solution that assesses for all 24 classes of vulnerabilities identified by the Web Application Security Consortium’s (WASC) threat classification, a critical component of comprehensive website security. 

“WhiteHat is pleased to join forces with this established group of security service providers to reach new markets for our website vulnerability management services,” said Stephanie Fohn, Chief Executive Officer, WhiteHat Security.  “Services are a crucial component in any website security program because they allow companies to actively identify, prioritize, manage, and remediate website vulnerabilities according to their own business needs.”
