Testing Production Apps

Cenzic is the only company that provides organizations with the ability to test deployed Web applications via virtualization (through an integration with VMware). 

Current methods of addressing the application security problem focus on improving the security process within the software development lifecycle.  Testing early in the development cycle has great merit, but it leaves production applications’ exposure unaddressed. 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 the applications in production exposed and vulnerable. Remarkably, these are the applications which are tested the least, if at all.

By integrating with virtualization technology, including VMware Lab Manager and VMware VirtualCenter, developers are able to continuously test production applications in a virtual or "staging" environment without the risk of compromising the environment. This will not only help organizations test all their applications but also allow them to continuously test Web applications for new application vulnerabilities, which are averaging more than 400 a month. When a vulnerability is identified, organizations can decide to fix the vulnerability and push the revised version into production or take other measures such as configuring their application firewalls to prevent hackers from attacking the application.
