Nebulas offers £10k assessment for free

Security VAR launches web application security offensive in wake of monster.com breach

Security VAR Nebulas Solutions Group is offering UK firms a free web application security risk assessment in the wake of the latest data breach saga.

Online recruitment agency monster.com recently admitted it had suffered the theft of millions of users’ personal information in what was hailed as one of the UK's biggest cases of cyber fraud.

Nebulas said its free assessment, typically worth £10,000, emphasises the importance of pre-emptive security action for large organisations.

According to Gartner, application-level attacks have become the predominant security threat to organisations.

Nebulas managing director Nick Garlick said: “We are confident that enterprises taking up this offer will be convinced that effective web security technology is available – all that’s required is a willingness to undertake the due diligence alongside closely monitored and enforced security policies.

“Security breaches are not inevitable, they are entirely preventable.”

Nebulas has partnered with web application security vendor Breach Security to provide businesses detailed information about the current state of their web applications. This offer is available until 31 March 2009.
