Breach Security Partners With Security On-Demand to Offer WebDefend as Managed Security Solution

Security On-Demand Brings PCI Compliance, Data Leakage Protection to Smaller Businesses with Affordable WebDefend Managed Solution

CARLSBAD, Calif., September 9, 2008 — Breach Security, Inc., the leader in web application integrity and security and Security On-Demand today jointly announced that Security On-Demand is offering Breach Security’s WebDefend web application security appliance as the industry’s first managed web application firewall service. Security On-Demand is the market leader of a new breed of Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), offering the “security-as-a-service” model for companies that want to partner in co-managing their IT security technology and operations.

Breach Security’s WebDefend provides real-time, continuous web application integrity and security to prevent hacking attacks, stop data leakage, accelerate PCI compliance and ensure applications operate as intended to deliver successful transactions and positive end-user experiences. Security On-Demand will include WebDefend in its managed services offering, which utilizes a software-as-a-service delivery model to provide clients with the benefits of rapid deployment, quick time to value, no maintenance, and options for no upfront capital cost.

“Smaller organizations don’t always have the in-house skills or budget to implement and maintain necessary security solutions such as a web application firewall,” said Peter Bybee, President and CEO of Security On-Demand. “By delivering the benefits of WebDefend via our software-as-a-service platform, we are bringing PCI compliance, application integrity and data leakage protection to more businesses than could otherwise afford WebDefend’s enterprise-level technology. The WebDefend security platform is a significant enhancement to our managed security portfolio.”

Security On-Demand selected WebDefend to include in its managed security service after rigorous testing of available web application security appliances. The MSSP found that WebDefend extends beyond traditional web application firewalls to automatically identify code flaws that can lead to security issues, lost revenues and negative user experiences. In addition, the appliance provides in-house security teams or managed service providers, such as Security On-Demand, with detailed information regarding identified flaws for quick remediation to improve code quality and security. 

“Our WebDefend web application security appliance enables partners, such as Security On-Demand, to raise customer awareness of the challenges and threats facing their online business and consumer data. Web application integrity and security concerns are an increasing business concern for organizations of all sizes, and Security On-Demand delivers services that scale from small to large organizations,” said Sanjay Mehta, senior vice president at Breach Security. “In addition, the vast array of services and information available through WebDefend provide Security On-Demand with the opportunity to grow both their new and existing customer base.”
