Exclusive Networks dons WhiteHat

Distributor signs up web application security testing vendor

Distributor Exclusive Networks claims new vendor signing WhiteHat Security is a good fit for resellers looking to scale up their web application security testing capabilities.

Founded in 2001, WhiteHat's flagship Sentinel product line currently manages "tens of thousands" of websites for firms in sectors including e-commerce, financial services and healthcare.

The vendor offers dynamic application security testing of live production websites, mobile application security testing and static, pre-production application security assessments of the original source code.

Graham Jones, joint country manager at Exclusive Networks UK, said WhiteHat Sentinel would form part of the distributor's CARM platform, which is designed to enable resellers to offer a complete multi-vendor cyber-threat solution.

"WhiteHat Security is a respected global player in web application security and its decision to invest in the channel will be warmly received by partners looking to increase service revenue and scale up web application security testing capabilities," Jones said.

Andrew Lawton, vice president of EMEA at WhiteHat Security, added: "Exclusive Networks' market-making pedigree, technical expertise and complementary security product portfolio makes it an ideal partner for WhiteHat Security as we look to continue to expand our footprint throughout Europe."
