Armorize To Provide Web Application Security Technology To New York PHP

PRESS RELEASE

Santa Clara, April 2, 2009 -- Armorize Technologies and New York PHP, LLC (NYPHP) have announced a strategic partnership to provide PHP implementers with the latest in Web Application Security Technology.

Leveraging Armorize Technologies' position as industry-leader in Static Source Code Analysis and Verification, premier open source solution provider NYPHP is adding web application source code review as a security service. This service identifies vulnerable code statements that leave applications open to attacks such as Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection and Remote File Inclusion.

By adding proactive Web application security to its service offerings, NYPHP provides efficient remediation of web application vulnerabilities from the outset. This represents a cost-effective and risk-free alternative to the common build-first secure-later paradigm.

Explosive Growth in Web Application Attacks Compromising End-users Web 2.0 has resulted in dynamic technologies that provide businesses and end-users with ever greater capabilities. However it has also brought greater exposure, with hackers directly targeting vulnerable web applications. According to industry analysts at Gartner, by 2010, 80% of organizations will be compromised by such attacks. Instead of seeking to bypass perimeter security controls, hackers are now embedding zero-day attacks in traffic directed at web applications. Research from the Google Malware Analysis Team indicates that in many cases, these compromises are explicitly designed to direct malware at end-user computers for the purpose of stealing information such as stored passwords, banking details, and personal or corporate data.

Rather than the traditional software development practice of adding security after the fact, current trends require proactive and preventative measures, ensuring web applications are built on secure source code from the beginning.

Source Code Analysis offers Proactive Web Application Security Backed by Armorize CodeSecure Static Source Code Analysis and Verification platform, NYPHP's Security Audit Service identifies vulnerabilities in web application source code before deployment. This proactive approach provides significant advantages over the more traditional web application penetration testing model. By pinpointing vulnerable code statements and offering prioritized guidance on remediation, CodeSecure ensures cost-effective and risk-free vulnerability remediation at the root cause.

Under the guidance of an NYPHP professional, clients simply submit their source code through a secure server to receive a full report and analysis that details and prioritizes vulnerabilities. Additionally, clients can get direct expert assistance from a NYPHP senior developer for mitigation and removal of the identified risks.
