Cenzic Inc., the leading provider of application security vulnerability assessment and risk management solutions, announced today that InfoSecurity Products Guide, a leading publication on security-related products and technologies, has named Cenzic ClickToSecure, winner of the 2009 Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award in the managed security service category. This award recognizes innovative security vendors making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.

“Cenzic is uniquely positioned for success in the application security market as it provides a traditional on-premise software solution as well as a SaaS offering,” said Christian A. Christiansen, IDC VP of Security Products & Services. In today’s tough economic market, more companies will move to SaaS to balance the staffing shortages. Cenzic will benefit as companies realize that its robust offering allows flexibility of switching to the on-premise software model at any time.”

Businesses’ online presence center around using Web applications to store, transmit and manage information. In the past, firewalls and associated security technologies were the first line of defense against information theft. Today, the security configuration of Web applications has become the first and last line of defense against malicious attacks and confidential data leaks as widely seen in the press. Because many organizations do not have the resources to adequately assess their Web applications in-house, Cenzic offers state-of-the-art software as a service for assessing applications remotely.

“Every day there are reports of new security breaches and cyberattacks, all of which highlight the growing importance of securing your websites. But for organizations with limited resources, especially in this tough economy, security can be a daunting task,” said Mandeep Khera, CMO for Cenzic. “With ClickToSecure, Cenzic’s experts perform remote vulnerability assessment, lightening the burden on internal IT teams, while still insuring the highest level of security.”
