“Being named Coolest Security Startup of 2015 by CRN and winning the RSA Innovation Sandbox in the past three months is very gratifying,” said Brian Maccaba, CEO of Waratek. “These accolades validate the growing concern and importance of application security, and our unique self-protection approach. Waratek’s ability to prevent attackers from exploiting software vulnerabilities that organizations can’t or haven’t been able to fix is getting a lot of attention in the industry.”
Waratek provides run-time application self-protection (RASP) for security monitoring, policy enforcement and attack protection. RASP protects both data center and cloud-based applications against exploits that target vulnerabilities in third party libraries or legacy code, as well as zero-day malware and SQL injection attacks. Waratek prevents attacks from reaching applications regardless of whether they target business logic or code vulnerabilities.
Last month, Waratek announced that it has developed the ability for its RASP product to consume CWE (common weakness enumeration) reports from SAST tools like HP Fortify, Veracode, Checkmarx and others to generate rules that immediately address application security vulnerabilities. This fully automated workflow can immediately protect production applications without any manual intervention or configuration. It can also be integrated into the Software Development Lifecycle. Using a closed-loop process, Waratek AppSecurity for Java provides validation to SAST/DAST tools that vulnerabilities have been remediated.
