SANTA CLARA, CA: Cenzic Inc., a provider of software and SaaS products to protect websites against hacker attacks, announced today a new limited time program for small businesses in need of securing their organization.

The Cenzic HealthCheck program is offering the first 500 qualified SMBs a free application vulnerability assessment performed by Cenzic Web security experts using the companies ClickToSecure managed service solution.

As part of the HealthCheck, Cenzic would scan the Web pages of participating organizations to check for some of the most common application vulnerabilities or "holes" that hackers can exploit such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross Frame Scripting, Password Autocomplete, and others.

Then, participants would receive a free PDF report containin the assessment summary of security flaws and easy-to-read severity charts, listing of most vulnerable website URLs, remediation suggestions for fixing the flaws, said a press release.

"In spite of regulatory compliance issues like PCI DSS, AB1950, GLBA and continuous hacking of websites, most organizations still don't quite understand issues around Web vulnerabilities. With this in mind, we really wanted to offer a free program to help companies understand how vulnerable and exposed their sites are," said Mandeep Khera CMO for Cenzic.

Khera further added that most small to medium sized companies are lucky to have an IT person and most likely he or she is a 'jack of all trades' doing software support, configuring networks and also in charge of the companies computer security. They lack resources and application security expertise. HealthCheck is a first step for these companies to educate themselves, and start plugging some of these serious holes before hackers can cause severe damage.

Of the 100 million plus websites live today, less than three per cent are considered somewhat secure, according to the 2009 Trends Report.

HealthCheck was created to ensure that even companies who believe they can't afford security can get help in securing their websites. HealthCheck is a continuation of the No Website Left Behind program launched by Cenzic in 2006 to help universities and charitable organizations, added the release.
