Only a small percentage of Web applications are in the development or quality assurance stage at any point of time, leaving a vast majority of Companies Web applications, already in production, exposed and vulnerable. With over 400 new application vulnerabilities showing up every month, it is imperative that organizations test and re-test all their Web applications, and not just the ones in development and quality assurance stages, but live, production applications already performing business critical functions. The fact is well over 90% of production Web applications are not security tested at all.
Without possibly compromising production Web applications it has simply not been possible or practical to conduct a thorough and repeated assessment.
Simply stated Cenzic understands the importance and necessity of testing all Web applications, including production applications. They should be continuously tested for new vulnerabilities and this is now possible by utilizing a virtualized environment – no longer risking the integrity of production Web applications.
“VMware Lab Manager enables easy reproduction of software defects and security vulnerabilities without disrupting production environments, allowing quick troubleshooting across development and test teams,” said Brian Byun, vice president of global partners and solutions at VMware. “As a result of the integration of Cenzic Hailstorm with VMware Lab Manager, VirtualCenter customers can achieve increased productivity and security test of mission-critical web applications while continuing normal business operations.”
A client can test their apps for Web security easily by using Hailstorm on their already used virtualized server where they have all their applications.
