WhiteHat Security today announced that it has partnered
with Rural Sourcing Inc. to offer the industry's first one-stop solution to
identify and remediate application level exposures.
The two companies will combine the comprehensive,
SaaS-based WhiteHat Application Security Platform with Rural Sourcing's
vulnerability remediation services to alleviate the challenges of DevSecOps and
help organizations enjoy the benefits of digital transformation without the
security headaches.
"Companies looking to secure their digital business are
acutely aware of application level vulnerabilities but lack the resources to
identify and fix them in a timely manner," said Derek Perry, vice president,
Innovation at Rural Sourcing. "Whether utilizing inhouse or offshore resources,
there are significant challenges to overcome, which can be addressed by
sourcing IT resources onshore. WhiteHat and Rural Sourcing bring a unique
combination of technology and talent, which can identify and remediate
application-based threats, ensuring a company's digital business is properly
defended."
The WhiteHat Application Security Platform provides the
services required to secure the entire software lifecycle (SLC) from the
development/test phase through deployment and operation. The technologies include 1) software composition analysis (SCA), which identifies where
reusable components are within applications and detects any vulnerabilities
present, 2) static application security testing (SAST) for scanning
source code of the most commonly-used programming languages, identifying
vulnerabilities, and providing actionable vulnerability reports, and 3) dynamic application security testing (DAST), which
continuously scans websites as they evolve, providing automatic detection and
assessment of code changes and alerting for newly discovered vulnerabilities.
The platform pulls from 18 years of data on application
vulnerabilities and more than 100 million verified attack vectors identified by
the WhiteHat Threat Research Center.
Now, the partnership with Rural Sourcing enables
organizations to take application security one step further. Joint customers
will have access to hundreds of Rural Sourcing's application development
experts that scan the vulnerabilities identified by WhiteHat and implement the
fix, saving time and resources.
"The WhiteHat platform was designed to enable true
DevSecOps and help companies catch critical vulnerabilities in their code
before it's too late," said Debbie Klett, director of Channels, WhiteHat
Security. "While we've always provided guidance on remediating these issues,
the Rural Sourcing partnership will enable customers to leave that final step
in the hands of some of the industry's top experts, so they can focus on
growing their business. We are thrilled to begin this joint effort in making
application security more accessible for all organizations."
This integration is now
available through the companies' direct sales teams and through the
WhiteHat Security Partnership Program's DevSecOps Level 2 and
3 partners in the U.S. and EMEA.
