Cenzic web vulnerability scanning technology
Cenzic provides software and SaaS security solutions to help organizations secure their web sites against hacker attacks. Cenzic focuses on web application security, automating the process of identifying security defects at the web application level where more than 75 percent of hacker attacks occur. Its dynamic, black box web application testing is built on a non-signature-based technology that finds more real vulnerabilities, and provides vulnerability management, risk management and compliance for regulations and industry standards such as PCI or HIPAA. The Cenzic solution suite fits the needs of companies across all industries, including an entry-level, on-demand cloud solution Cenzic Secure Cloud, remote testing performed by Cenzic security experts Cenzic Secure Managed, and a full enterprise software product Cenzic Hailstorm Enterprise ARC for managing security risks across the entire company.
Benefits of leveraging Cenzic web scanning solutions and NetScaler Application Firewall
Cenzic’s web vulnerability scanning solutions with the Citrix NetScaler Application Firewall is a powerful combination that prevents breaches and secures the web infrastructure for on-premises and cloud-based application deployments. Cenzic solutions help organizations comply with government regulations and employ industry best security practices by using automated processes to assess risk and test for web vulnerabilities, before they are exploited by hackers. NetScaler Application Firewall is a high-performance, proven security solution that utilizes both positive security and signature-based models to automatically block both known and unknown attacks against web applications. Cenzic identifies the application weaknesses and NetScaler blocks against them until the flaws can be fixed.
Deploying Cenzic and Citrix in practice
Using Cenzic solutions with NetScaler deployments is a fully validated and straightforward process. Initially the Hailstorm or ClickToSecure solution performs an automatic security scan to identify any weaknesses within the tested web applications. The administrator then receives a detailed vulnerability report to initiate remedial action. The detected vulnerabilities are exported from the Cenzic product to the NetScaler Application Firewall module via an XML file. After receiving the rules, NetScaler automatically generates policy settings to protect the application and bind the Application Firewall profile within minutes. No additional configuration or learning is needed.
