WhiteHat Security Announces Website Security Certification Program for
Sentinel Customers

New Program Allows Customers to Assure Website Security and PCI Compliance for
Site Visitors

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHat Security, the leading
provider of website risk management solutions, today launched a website
security certification program which provides WhiteHat Sentinel customers with
a distinctive and formal trademark for their website to show it has been
assessed by WhiteHat for the latest vulnerabilities. The "website security by
WhiteHat Security" mark allows customers to assure site visitors that the
WhiteHat Sentinel Service has been deployed to safeguard confidential data
from security breaches and hacker attacks.

The WhiteHat Security certification program also enables customers to
communicate their adherence to Payment Card Industry (PCI)-Data Security
Standard security guidelines. WhiteHat Sentinel exceeds PCI 6.6 requirements
for website security by offering customers unlimited scanning during its
annual subscription period ensuring up-to-date visibility into a website's
security posture. In addition, Sentinel maps to PCI vulnerability severity
levels for simplified customer reporting.

"Corporations across vertical markets are constantly challenged to maintain
the security of their websites to ensure all sensitive data remains
uncompromised," said Bill Pennington, SVP of Services, WhiteHat Security. "We
think there is great value to our customers to offer a program which allows
them to certify that their sites have been extensively reviewed for security
issues by WhiteHat Sentinel. Now, customers can publicly acknowledge that
website security and their adherence to PCI 6.6 Compliance directives are top
priorities."

The industry-leading WhiteHat Sentinel product family is composed of
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) website security solutions that deliver the
flexibility, simplicity and manageability that organizations need to take
control of website security and prevent Web attacks. WhiteHat Sentinel was
built from the ground up to assess the largest and most complex websites in
the world on an ongoing basis, and today executes rigorous and ongoing
security testing on thousands of the world's leading websites, including many
Fortune 500 companies.

The WhiteHat Sentinel service allows organizations to conduct the most
complete vulnerability assessments -- as often as they'd like, or every time a
website is changed -- ensuring that all existing and new vulnerabilities are
identified and assessed. WhiteHat's patented methodology exceeds the strictest
industry standards as established by the PCI Security Standards Council,
founded by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International,
MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc.

"Website security is top of mind for customers conducting business on our
sites," said Shamoun Siddiqui, Manager, Information Security, CVS Caremark.
"We take security and compliance challenges very seriously as we've seen more
issues erupt in the public arena surrounding serious breaches with sensitive
data housed online. Caremark is eager to engage with WhiteHat, an industry
standard-bearer, for the certification program to demonstrate the measures we
are taking to assure site visitors of the level of security we maintain across
our websites."

The certification program is available at no additional charge for all
WhiteHat Sentinel subscribers, at all service levels beginning May 4, 2009.
