SyCom Chooses Invicti for Its Web Application Security Services
Invicti not only has better coverage and web vulnerability detection than other scanners, it is also very easy to use and allows us to automate most of the web security audit process.
– Darren Manners, SyCom
SyCom is one of the largest systems integrators on the East Coast of the United States. The team assists organizations from multiple industry verticals with most of their IT requirements, including ensuring the security of their web assets.
Not only has SyCom been reselling Invicti web application security scanner and using it for all their web application security offerings for many years running, they have also built an automated penetration testing service that uses the Invicti product.
Why SyCom Chose Invicti Seven Years in A Row
Like any other serious IT security services company, SyCom re-evaluates the security tools their professionals are using on a yearly basis. By reviewing their toolset, they can ensure that they’re always delivering the best service to their customers.
Seven years ago, SyCom evaluated the Invicti web application security scanner and has been using the tool ever since. The team still does its yearly evaluation, but year after year, Invicti comes out on top.
Thanks to Invicti’s automated vulnerability confirmation, our security professionals can concentrate on doing other things that cannot be automated. As a result, we can deliver a more thorough penetration test and better value to our customers.
Around-the-Clock Web Security Scanning with Invicti
Apart from providing IT security services to their customers, SyCom also uses the Invicti web application security platform as the core of an online service that allows them to continuously monitor their customers’ websites for vulnerabilities.
Around-the-clock website vulnerability scanning and monitoring is becoming more and more common, simply because new features and changes are applied to business web applications on a daily basis. At the heart of the SyCom service is Invicti’s web application security scanning engine.
By combining the efficiency of automated scanning with the expertise of seasoned security professionals, SyCom has created a winning formula. Invicti automatically exploits the identified vulnerabilities, and the vulnerability details are automatically fed into the SyCom framework. Security analysts can then contact customers to provide information about the vulnerabilities and suggest remedies.
Without this continuous penetration testing service, most of these vulnerabilities would not be found until a manual penetration test, which is typically run once per year. Until then, applications would be wide open to attacks by malicious hackers.
Reselling Invicti to their Customers
As a value-added reseller, SyCom does not resell just any software. They only sell software that they approve of and use for themselves. After experiencing the benefits of using Invicti for several years in their own offerings, SyCom started reselling Invicti to businesses that have their own security departments and would like to run internal penetration tests.
Comprehensive Web Application Security Services with Invicti
SyCom is an exemplary all-round Invicti user. They use Invicti as a company, they built a service around it and they also resell it. All of this is made possible by the fact that Invicti delivers top-notch web security products and world-class customer and reseller support.
