Focus on Securing your Customer Data to Improve Customer Service and Avoid Negative Publicity by Stopping Cloud and Web Application Vulnerabilities

Washington, D.C., February 7, 2012 – Winvale,  a leading government technology solutions provider, that focuses on identifying and integrating emerging technologies that solve the government’s mission-critical needs, just announced a new partnership with Cenzic, who  provides application security to continuously assess Cloud and Web vulnerabilities, which are commonly exploited by hackers.

Traditional application security solutions have focused on solving perimeter security issues with tools such as Firewall, Intrusion Detection System (IDS), Anti-Virus, and Network Vulnerability Assessment. These security tools, although effective in their own right, do not address the security vulnerabilities exposed through Web applications -- that must be left open to conduct business.  “We are pleased to add Cenzic to our portfolio of cybersecurity tools, because its ease of use and unique pricing model makes it possible to test all applications on a continuous basis rather than just a few deemed mission-critical.  It only takes a single vulnerability to enable a breach, so Cenzic’s ability to perform ongoing testing of all applications makes it possible to provide persistent protection from new threats, vulnerabilities and attacks,” said Kevin Lancaster, managing partner at Winvale.

Cenzic’s flexible product model (software and cloud products) helps federal entities find and fix vulnerabilities (security defects) in Web applications before they are exploited by hackers. Unlike network security and SSL solutions, Cenzic tests at the Web application level where over 75% of attacks occur. Now on Winvale’s GSA Schedule 70, GS-35F-0074S, Cenzic’s products emulate a hacker attack by using a patented, non-signature based approach to scan online applications – Cloud, mobile and Web . “We are pleased to partner with Winvale and expand our use among government agencies.  This relationship makes it possible for us to help more federal agencies safely use online applications without compromising underlying data sources,” said   John Weinschenk, president and CEO of Cenzic.
