F5 is Driving the Market for More Effective Website Security and Management

F5 Networks, Inc., the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced a new program that offers enterprise organizations free application vulnerability assessment scans. In partnership with two leading dynamic application security testing partners, Cenzic and WhiteHat Security, the F5® program makes it easy for clients to try vulnerability assessment services—with no commitment. The program is designed to help enterprises accelerate their adoption of web application security best practices with an automated, accurate, but simple solution to protect business assets. To support clients that need assistance in scoping their web application security status and to establish a roadmap to mitigate exposures, F5® Professional Services is introducing the BIG-IP® ASM® Vulnerability Mitigation Assessment service.

“The CIOs and CISOs I meet with are chartered with driving more services online, nevertheless are in the extreme concerned about the security risks in today’s dynamic threat environment,” said Manny Rivelo, EVP of Security and Strategic Solutions at F5. “But, in many cases, enterprises do not execute an application security strategy because they do not have proof that their applications are vulnerable. With this offering of free vulnerability scans, F5 is making it easier to build the business case for enterprises to adopt a web application security plan and ensure their applications are safe and their brand is protected.”
