Prevoty Provides Security at the Pace of Business - Innovation in a Fragmented Security Ecosystem to Protect Businesses' Treasured Applications


The way companies do business is changing, yet they are relying on a tired and fragmented security approach to protect valuable corporate assets like customer data and enterprise applications. New research shows this fragmented approach is failing. Businesses are unable to address the security issues facing their modern and legacy applications and this is becoming a top business priority.

Prevoty, a leader in runtime application security monitoring and protection, today announced a new version of their product and released industry survey results, the result of research done in conjunction with Ponemon Institute (News - Alert) to determine the state of application security.

According to the survey:

  • 78 percent of respondents admitted that their organization's portfolio of applications has become more vulnerable to attacks.
  • More than half of the survey respondents (54 percent) admitted that their organization is ineffective in managing the security of applications across the enterprise.
  • While 45 percent of survey respondents said that the protection of applications is a top security objective within their organization, it's clear that taking a piecemeal approach to a fragmented security ecosystem is harming the ability of the organization to protect its assets.

Julien Bellanger, CEO and co-founder of Prevoty, said, "Research continues to show that while organizations recognize the importance of addressing security threats, they've been slow to adopt strategies that truly accomplish this. Our focus remains on developing high-performance solutions that address the under-recognized and under-serviced runtime threats and vulnerabilities."

Gartner (News - Alert) recently identified the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2016, naming Adaptive Security Architecture one of them1. Gartner stated:

"The complexities of digital business and the algorithmc economy combined with an emerging "hacker industry" significantly increase the threat surface for an organization. Relying on perimeter defense and rule-based security is inadequate, especially as organizations exploit more cloud-based services and open APIs for customers and partners to integrate with their systems. IT leaders must focus on detecting and responding to threats, as well as more traditional blocking and other measures to prevent attacks. Application self-protection, as well as user and entity behavior analytics, will help fulfill the adaptive security architecture."



Through Prevoty's new Application Security (News - Alert) Monitoring and Protection (AMP) product, enterprises are able to provide security at the pace of their business.

Prevoty's new innovation, the AMP product, provides businesses with 10x improved security performance for modern and legacy applications. The solution is based on self-contained processing and analysis engines with enterprise support for Java & .NET (News - Alert). All monitoring and protection processing is within the application thus eliminating network latency.


Prevoty innovation also includes newly extended vulnerability coverage to all runtime OWASP top ten threats and beyond, which includes support for OS Command Injection, Transport Layer Protection, Cookie Hack Protection, Information Leakage, Personal Identity Information and extended database coverage with DB2 support. Prevoty's 3rd generation of software also extends the implementation of SQL injection and the exfiltration monitoring and protection capabilities.
