SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHat Security, the leading provider of website risk management solutions, today announced its Risk-Free Scanner Trade-Up Program, which invites companies to upgrade legacy website scanning products to WhiteHat Sentinel, the most complete, accurate and manageable website vulnerability management solution. The WhiteHat Trade-Up Program offers two free additional months of service with the purchase of the first year's subscription to the WhiteHat Sentinel Service. Eligible trade-up products include website scanning software from Acunetix (Web Vulnerability Scanner), Cenzic (Hailstorm), HP (WebInspect, DevInspect and QAInspect) and IBM (Rational AppScan). Additionally, WhiteHat is now making the Trade-Up Program available through its extensive reseller community.

Hackers are constantly evolving their strategies and looking for ways to exploit website vulnerabilities, making websites a prime target for attacks. In fact, the most recent WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report found that 83 percent of websites have had a high, critical or urgent issue - giving hackers an opportunity to take advantage of weaknesses. Organizations can't risk using outdated website scanning tools to try and keep up with sophisticated hackers preying on their vulnerabilities. They need to be confident that the proprietary customer and company data on their websites is protected and secure on an ongoing basis.

WhiteHat Sentinel, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) based website risk management solution, offers increased protection to organizations looking to stay ahead of evolving threats. With more than 1,500 websites under management, WhiteHat Sentinel is the only enterprise-class solution that combines proprietary scanning technology with Web security expert analysis, giving detailed and accurate results about vulnerabilities and overall comprehensive insight about website risk management. It delivers the flexibility, simplicity and manageability that organizations need in order to understand their true website vulnerabilities so they can prevent Web attacks.

"With websites continuing to be the main target of most hackers, companies need to make sure they are ready and able to prevent attacks," said Bill Pennington, senior vice president, services, WhiteHat Security. "Legacy scanners are simply not as sophisticated as today's hackers and are not equipped to identify the full range of vulnerabilities that expose websites to risk. Additionally, scanners can be extremely destructive to production websites, where attacks occur. WhiteHat Sentinel's rapid and precise identification of true website vulnerabilities gives companies confidence in their website risk management program."
