CENZIC HAILSTORM® BAGS BEST OF SHOW AWARD AT
CORPORATE & CHANNEL COMPUTING EXPO
Leading Automated Application Security Assessment
Solution Beats Out Scores of Products Spanning the Landscape of Technological
Innovation
Santa Clara, Calif., — July 19, 2005 —
Cenzic, Inc. today announced that Hailstorm®, the company’s
enterprise software suite for automated application security assessment,
won the Corporate & Channel Computing (C3) Expo’s 2005 Best
in Show Award for Best New Product. The C3 event honors products and technologies
that are shaping the business world. Cenzic Hailstorm was selected Best
New Product among hundreds of competing entrants by a panel of experts
and industry pundits. The award underscores Cenzic’s emergence as
a leading player in the security industry in offering cutting-edge vulnerability
assessments for critical business web applications and data.
Cenzic Hailstorm is designed to help companies protect
their web-based applications from potential security threats by emulating
the way real hackers work in order to test applications for security vulnerabilities
and compliance issues. By assessing applications in a stateful manner,
Cenzic provides companies with highly accurate results without the “false
positives” often associated with scanning-based solutions, as well
as tests for application logic issues and policy compliance for internal
policies and regulatory standards. Cenzic’s newest offering, ClickToSecure™,
is a software as a service that helps customers remotely assess their applications
by combining the power of an enterprise-class application security assessment
product with the flexibility of a managed security service.
The C3 draws expert speakers and recognized industry
observers to discuss the trends and issues that are affecting the implementation
of technology. As a computer show expressly for the business world, C3
is designed to inform decision-makers and balance the ideas about the
innovation created by information technology with the requirements of
business management. The award winners were selected after scores of new
products were evaluated by industry experts Joel Shore, editor of Reference
Guide and long-time computer industry editor, analyst, and product
reviewer, and Tom Henderson, principal researcher for ExtremeLabs and
former systems and telephony integrator. The Best of Show Awards were
based on three differentiating variables: innovation, quality, and value.

their web-based applications. By automating the application testing process,
Hailstorm ensures that companies are in compliance, while preventing devastating
financial losses associated with application security breaches,”
said Tom Henderson, principal researcher for ExtremeLabs. “Although
web application security is a difficult and growing challenge, most of
today’s solutions fall short. Hailstorm was named Best Product for
its innovative approach to one of today’s most important and fastest
growing information security problems.”
“It’s a great honor to be recognized among
such a broad range of products at the show, a selection that solidifies
the importance of application security and Hailstorm’s continued
momentum since its launch earlier this year,” said Mandeep Khera,
VP of marketing for Cenzic. “This recognition from the C3 as Best
New Product acknowledges the vital role our Hailstorm product and ClickToSecure
software as a Ssrvice play in the proactive protection of all web applications
and validates our position as an industry innovator and leader.”
