Today, companies find it increasingly challenging to manage information security to protect themselves from hackers. This is made severe by the alarmingly large number of new vulnerabilities discovered every year. In 2008 alone, over 7000 new vulnerabilities were discovered - many of which did not have vendor patches for months. This, along with the complexity of regulatory compliance such as PCI, ISO 27001 etc., put considerable pressure on companies in managing the security of their network and web applications.

This unique offering would identify critical threats in an organization's IT infrastructure and application and provide recommendations for remediation.
