Have you ever identified an urgent need for a security fix, but lacked a qualified team member to do it? Have you ever been handed a schedule so ambitious that it’s not physically possible for your team to complete it? Is it sometimes easier to get a temporary budget increase than add a permanent headcount? These are all scenarios that cry out for application security services from Cenzic’s Professional Services Team. While most people know that Cenzic Managed Cloud includes our experts who will run application vulnerability scans for you, and report back the results, that’s just the tip of the Cenzic Professional Services iceberg.

Here are some recent examples of customers making novel and valuable use of Cenzic Professional Services.

• A Fortune 100 Commercial Banking and Services company with more than $100 Billion in Assets needed to quickly begin scanning 110 applications. Cenzic Professional Services did a custom onboarding engagement, training each app traversal so that the Bank’s IT Security Analysts could then run scans themselves using Cenzic Enterprise software. This met their timeline needs, and kept the scanning results in-house, per their corporate policy.
• A global NGO with thousands of web sites needed a Methodology Assessment of their security posture, and real-world training of their developers to minimize vulnerabilities in code. Cenzic Professional Services did a 3-day engagement with their application developers. Cenzic PS reviewed with them the 10 most common vulnerabilities in the wild, finding examples in their production applications. Cenzic PS demonstrated on a live demo site how a hacker could exploit those specific types of vulnerabilities, then reviewed coding best practices to completely eliminate said vulnerabilities.
• A high technology company with a mobile application which accessed sensitive customer data, didn’t know how to assess it for vulnerabilities. Cenzic Mobile Scan service performed a dynamic analysis by placing a proxy in the line to the mobile app, which allowed technicians to replay various attacks and coupled it with a thorough forensic analysis of the application on the device to identify vulnerabilities that exposed customer data.
• A Health Maintenance Organization needed a deep scan of a new application on a tight development schedule to ensure compliance. Cenzic PS performed Manual Penetration testing along with the comprehensive vulnerability scanning  to provide a very thorough scan which could suffice for any compliance or audit need.

Keep in mind that your goal is online security, and there are many ways to achieve that goal whether it is self-service, managed services, or a hybrid in between. Cenzic experts would love to help.
