SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/25/12 -- WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today announced its new RiskCheck program, a free report that provides a custom, up-to-the-minute overview of website security risks across a range of industries. WhiteHat's RiskCheck delivers an industry-specific application security report in an effort to build awareness for businesses' individual website security needs. The program is a unique service giving organizations visibility into security issues that affect their peers and best-practices not considered before.

Enterprises face challenges in balancing growth with operational security. With RiskCheck, organizations may evaluate their current state of website security by drawing on current, real-world data from businesses that rely on WhiteHat Sentinel to protect their website assets in a dynamic threat environment. RiskCheck report data is tailored to individual businesses, providing key competitive website security data such as the most common vulnerabilities found, remediation rates, and window of exposure based on industry vertical and company size. With these new datasets in hand, businesses will be able to better benchmark their security efforts and begin discussing new strategies for Web security.

"In order to improve the state of website security, it is imperative that companies understand their security posture and the risks associated with ignoring vulnerabilities in their online presence," said Stephanie Fohn, CEO of WhiteHat Security. "As the average cost of each corporate data breach climbs to over $7 million, WhiteHat has recognized that a simple approach to promoting security awareness is needed. It is our goal that, armed with these new insights from RiskCheck, enterprises will begin educating their developers on their pivotal role in ensuring organizational security."

The WhiteHat Security RiskCheck identifies organizations' unique security issues based on criteria such as log-in methods, e-commerce functionality, sensitive data storage and more, while also providing customized best-practices recommendations. All RiskCheck data is anonymously sourced from WhiteHat Sentinel, the industry's most complete, accurate and cost-effective website security solution for protecting website operations continuously throughout the software development lifecycle.
