iViZ Security Selects OpSource’s Enterprise-class Cloud to Deliver its Suite of SaaS Penetration Testing Security Services

Santa Clara, Calif.—February 16, 2011—OpSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise cloud and managed hosting, today announced that iViZ Security, the leading cloud-based penetration testing security company, has selected OpSource’s Enterprise Cloud Hosting to deliver its suite of web application and network penetration testing services in the cloud.  iViZ Security was able to migrate from an in-house SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model to OpSource’s cloud solution, moving all of its business to an elastic cloud infrastructure, providing its customers with the first cloud-based on-demand penetration testing solution, and its partners the ability to launch their own cloud-based on-demand penetration testing business in 7 days at zero opex.

iViZ Security delivers consultant grade quality penetration testing with an on-demand experience. iViZ Security provides automated security assessments with manual verification and custom exploitation by security experts for in depth vulnerability testing with zero false positives via a cost-effective SaaS model. Prior to the deployment of OpSource Cloud, iViZ Security was challenged by ever increasing scaling demands and required over-provisioning of services. Utilizing OpSource’s enterprise-class Cloud Hosting allows iViZ Security to build its own Virtual Private Cloud with dedicated virtual infrastructure, giving customers more flexible pricing options and the ability to ramp services up and down as they are needed. The results for iViZ Security’s customers are high quality, on-demand manageability, high scalability and unmatched service-to-price value security assessments.

“In order to scale fast enough to meet the high demand from our partners, who leverage iViZ Security to launch their own on-demand penetration testing practices, we needed to migrate our solution to an elastic cloud infrastructure for increased scalability of our service offering and reduced overhead of managing our own data center,” said Scott Bradley, VP of Americas of iViZ Security. “With new partners going live every week with their own branded cloud-based penetration testing services, it made a highly scalable solution an imperative. With OpSource, we were able to launch on-demand services for our partners, reduce process execution time, scale, cut expenses and improve revenue growth, all of which allows us to fund continued R&D and product and service innovation.”

“iViZ Security had the vision and fortitude to combine consulting grade quality testing with an online SaaS experience. By moving its business to a cloud-based model they were able to scale the business in a seamless way and improve the quality of their services,” said Keao Caindec, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer of OpSource. “OpSource shares iViZ Security’s commitment to provide its partners and customers with the highest quality solutions that are secure and cost-efficient. We are pleased to help iViZ Security both spur its business growth and enable and expand upon its SaaS strategy as well as their partners’ SaaS strategy.”
