Trustwave Acquires Cenzic to Add Dynamic Testing

Static application security testing (SAST) looks for security vulnerabilities in application code or binaries while the application is not running. Dynamic application security testing (DAST) focuses on continuous probing of running applications. “Cenzic’s highly automated and scalable security testing platform supercharges our ability to deliver integrated testing across a high volume of applications," said Robert McCullen, chairman and CEO at Trustwave. "This acquisition marks another milestone in Trustwave’s strategy to deliver comprehensive, automated and integrated security, compliance and threat intelligence solutions to the industry—all delivered through the cloud.”
