Cenzic and Armorize Agree to Strategic Relationship to Provide End-to-End Web Application Security Testing

SANTA CLARA, CA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Cenzic Inc., the leading provider of application security vulnerability
assessment and risk management solutions, today announced it has agreed to
form a strategic partnership with Armorize Technologies, the industry
leader in static source code analysis and verification technology.
Together their solutions will offer unparalleled Web application security.

The joint technology combines black box (dynamic) testing and white box
(source code) testing methods to analyze source code, pinpointing specific
lines of vulnerable code, and to emulate external hacker activities to
provide security analysis and testing throughout the entire development
lifecycle.

"More than 80 percent of deployed Web applications are vulnerable and it
is imperative that organizations take steps to validate security
throughout the development lifecycle," said John Weinschenk, president
and CEO for Cenzic. "Cenzic's goal is to provide best-in-breed Web
application security technology, and the alignment with Armorize allows
us to further our next generation security solutions. Armorize has a
strong presence in Asia Pacific and we believe that this partnership will
help both companies in that region."

"This joint effort will offer enterprises concerned with application
assessment a wealth of benefits," said Wayne Huang, CEO of Armorize. "It
will provide security personnel with multiple security perspectives
before, during and after deployment, and allow them to use the findings
from each solution to further fine-tune security testing. This serves as
an excellent method of vulnerability verification, greatly increasing
accuracy and reducing false positives. We are looking forward to offering
this joint solution to our customers throughout Asia Pacific."

Armorize CodeSecure(TM) proactively identifies vulnerabilities in Web
application source code in order to prevent hacker attacks. Delivered as
either an enterprise appliance or as a hosted software service, this
web-based solution integrates with Web application development processes
identifying vulnerable code as it is being developed, offering prioritized
code-specific guidance on remediation.

custom and commercial Web applications throughout the software development
lifecycle -- whether in development, QA, or operations -- to help find and
remediate security vulnerabilities, guide enforcement of internal security
policies and support regulatory compliance. With its dashboard views of

security and compliance executives access to real-time actionable
