Ever since the Internet took off from its humble beginnings as a simple connection between the two networks of UCLA and Stanford for educational purposes, it has increasingly been used by the global population as a means of communication, commerce, charity and much more. The myriad ways of utilizing the Internet backbone all require software engineering of web-enabled applications (webapps). A new product from High-Tech Bridge SA called ImmuniWeb® performs webapp security assessments. If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that this is just another webapp vulnerability scanner but hang on! It provides an innovative hybrid approach along with some really creative additional modules for assessing security beyond just the webapp. Why would we need such a hybrid approach?

Frost & Sullivan: High-Tech Bridge Moves Ethical Hacking to the Cloud with ImmuniWeb® SaaS
Movers & Shakers Interview with Ilia Kolochenko, CEO of High-Tech Bridge, a Leading Provider of Ethical Hacking Services in Europe
Mr. Kolochenko, the CEO of High-Tech Bridge and creative mind of ImmuniWeb® talked to Frost & Sullivan about the recent launch of ImmuniWeb® Beta, an innovative cloud-based ethical hacking SaaS solution for web applications.
The fundamentals of ImmuniWeb are ease and rapidity of use, and a powerful combination of human and machine. "ImmuniWeb is a hybrid of manual penetration testing, performed by security auditor, and automated security assessment under thorough control of the auditor. ImmuniWeb security assessment can be purchased and configured in less than 15 minutes on the ImmuniWeb Portal" Mr. Kolochenko says.
"ImmuniWeb presents a solution to three common issues of ethical hacking and the security auditing industry: lack of in-house technical knowledge among customers, administrative and regulatory complexities that takes lot of time, and relatively high market prices," he explains. "ImmuniWeb has a very attractive quality-price ratio and simplicity of use, making web application security assessment affordable to SMBs and even to private persons."
ImmuniWeb tackles one of the main end-user challenges when engaging ethical hacking services. "Although the ethical hacking market is quite well developed today, and there are many qualified players in the market, quite often customers still have to decide between buying either a good quality service at quite excessive price or a cheap service quality of which does not even worth its dumping price," Mr. Kolochenko explains. "We felt an obligation to find a solution that would be fair in terms of pricing, and technically efficient."

Web Security: High-Tech Bridge launches ImmuniWeb® Beta
High-Tech Bridge SA, a leading Swiss information security company recognized as one of the market leaders and best service providers in the ethical hacking industry by Frost & Sullivan in 2012, is pleased to introduce ImmuniWeb® Beta.
ImmuniWeb® is a next-generation web application security assessment solution with Software-as-a-Service delivery model. It is a unique hybrid of cutting-edge web security scanner and accurate manual web application penetration test.
Ilia Kolochenko, CEO of High-Tech Bridge, says: "Today many SMBs are unfairly prevented from securing their websites due to budget, internal technical skills or administrative restrictions. We are glad to launch our innovative SaaS ImmuniWeb® that enables SMBs to secure their websites in simple, efficient and cost-affordable manner. Starting today the service will run in Beta mode during some time in order to get feedback from our customers and probably add some additional features and options they will consider useful."
Marsel Nizamutdinov, Chief Security Research Officer, adds: "I am very glad that after several years of our hard work we can finally announce the launch of ImmuniWeb®. This will enable anyone to benefit from our skills, experience and research in the domain of web application security. Moreover, other similar products that make information security simple, efficient and fair are currently being developed. Our Corporate Management invests a lot into Research and Development and will continue to do so in the future to assure permanent growth and innovation.
Frederic Bourla, Chief Security Specialist, comments: "According to the recent ISTR 2013 study from Symantec, SMEs are now clearly a prime target for hackers. In 2012 businesses with fewer than 250 employees were targeted by nearly one third of worldwide cyber-attacks, which is approximately twice as much as the previous year. And from our own experience those figures are probably slightly lower than the reality in Switzerland, so we are now pleased to offer SMEs the opportunity to address this trend."
ImmuniWeb® Beta is currently available to the holders of Invite Codes distributed by High-Tech Bridge. It is also possible to leave a request for Invite Code on ImmuniWeb® Portal.
