Alentus Teams with GamaSec to Provide Web Application Security Services

    HERZELIA, ISRAEL, July 12, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alentus announced today its partnership with GamaSec, a remote online website security scan service. GamaScan identifies web application vulnerabilities, provides real-time vital business solutions, and recommends optimally matched solutions.

Clearly, Web applications are the weakest link in an organization's security strategy. Web applications are more difficult to protect than traditional applications that reside behind a firewall. Web application security needs to be stringently checked on a regular basis using an automated Web application security scanner.

GamaSec's commercial solution, branded "GamaScan", is a remote online web vulnerability-assessment service. delivered via SaaS (software-as-a-service) and is designed to identify security weaknesses in web applications. The GamaSec Application Vulnerability Scanner identifies application vulnerabilities (e.g. Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection, Code Inclusion etc.) as well as site exposure risks. It also ranks threat priority, produces highly graphical, intuitive HTML reports, and indicates site security posture by vulnerabilities and threats.

Avi Bartov, GamaSec CEO comments, "Our core business is to help our partners mitigate risks on their website by providing real-time evaluation reports and recommendations. We provide service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Application vulnerabilities are the Achilles heel in the protection of websites. It is better to know your weaknesses and fix them than wait to respond after an attack."

"At Alentus, we strive to offer our customers the highest quality extensive range of services that small businesses need to maintain a successful online presence," says Peter McNeill, Sales Manager at Alentus Corporation. "After learning about GamaSec and their web vulnerability assessment service, I felt that this partnership adds a valuable set of tools to assist Alentus with what it needs to succeed in today's security conscious Internet."

The partnership agreement will enable Alentus Corporation to offer GamaSec's website scan security services - which include blacklist monitoring and application vulnerability scanning services - to their shared web hosting and dedicated server clients.

Alentus will use GamaSec's private partner interface to deliver and manage the delivery of the entire range of GamaSec services.
