WhiteHat Security and F5 Roll Out Integrated Solution to Secure Corporate Web Applications
Posted by Gary E Smith - THE SOA NETWORK at Wednesday, July 09, 2008 5:58 AM and is filed under Press Release 
WhiteHat Security and F5 Roll Out Integrated Solution to Secure Corporate Web Applications
announced the general availability of an integrated solution with F5 Networks,
the global leader in Application Delivery Networking. The new offering allows
enterprises to attain expert-level Web application security and mitigate the
Web application software flaws that leave corporate and customer data at risk.
With the announcement of their partnership in March, the companies committed
to providing integration between WhiteHat Sentinel, the industry-leading
SaaS-based (Software-as-a-Service) website vulnerability management solution,
and the award-winning F5(R) BIG-IP(R) Application Security Manager(TM)
(ASM(TM)) Web Application Firewall.
The joint solution combines WhiteHat Sentinel's precise and verified
vulnerability data with the immediate blocking capabilities of F5's
Application Security Manager (ASM) Web Application Firewall (WAF). Customers
can confidently use their WAFs to their greatest potential-to thwart real
attacks, giving developers the time needed to correct the problem, while
continuing to open their websites to legitimate traffic. WhiteHat's on-demand
vulnerability assessments also ensure an application's security is kept
up-to-date and websites are protected from the latest attacks. The solution
also enables customers to achieve, and exceed, PCI 6.6 compliance-identifying
vulnerabilities, blocking attacks and extending developers' remediation
window, in one turn-key solution.
"The WhiteHat/F5 solution is a significant milestone for application
security. Together with F5, we are offering customers total website security,
hassle free," said
"We're solving a serious problem for enterprise security professionals by
delivering a solution that effectively eliminates the risks associated with
the most prevalent website vulnerabilities without immediate developer
involvement."
"Since we announced our partnership with WhiteHat in March, we've seen
increasing interest in the joint solution from the market," said
Vondemkamp
companies share the goal of providing customers with the best solutions to
secure their websites, we're able to deliver an offering with exceptional
capabilities that also saves money, time and resources."
About the Solution
WhiteHat Sentinel is an on-demand SaaS-based subscription service,
combining advanced proprietary scanning technology with expert analysis,
enabling customers to identify, prioritize, manage and remediate website
vulnerabilities as they occur. F5's ASM provides proactive network and
application-layer protection from generalized and targeted attacks by
understanding the user interaction with the application. Through the F5
iControl(R) API, WhiteHat Sentinel will be able to directly configure policies
on F5's ASM to protect against vulnerability exploits (e.g., Cross-site
Scripting, SQL Injection) found during the scanning process.
Availability
The F5 ASM and WhiteHat Sentinel integration is currently generally
available. Existing customers who have both WhiteHat Sentinel Service and F5
ASM with an active maintenance contract will receive integration
automatically. F5 ASM customers will need to subscribe to the Sentinel
Service. All WhiteHat customers will have access to F5 ASM integration
capabilities as a new feature in both Sentinel SE and PE, but will need to
purchase an F5 ASM to take advantage of the integration.
