The product is of high quality, as is the work on the Invicti side. In my opinion, running a business is all about people, and so is safety. My report on the relationship with Invicti is overwhelmingly positive. However, they respect and respect all organizations, regardless of their size. I can honestly say what a wonderful company this is, and I recommend working with them. The strength of the product speaks for itself.
Zen Internet
Michael Thompson
The English company Zen Internet is an Internet provider that offers its clients reliable Internet connections. The company was founded in 1995 and provides services for both home and business. Through a large number of clients across Great Britain, the Zen Internet team can ensure that its web applications are secure and prepared for new cyber threats to steal your data.
Looking for a solution to improve safety
As an Internet service provider, Zen Internet supports and supports a wide range of software services. Michael Thompson, who joined the company about ten years ago, quickly realized that to cope with new threats, he needed a way to provide software security, manage assets, and reduce security.
Michael and his team used other tools, such as Burp, Nikto, and OWASP Zap, but they weren’t deep enough for everything they needed to build Zen Internet.
Safety in uninterrupted development
A remarkably new team has appeared at Zen Internet, with engineering productivity. She works with engineering teams on software, frameworks, and infrastructure to find new ways to integrate security into the ongoing development process so that any security defects or patching failures are known before as an addition to the release. First of all, looking at the large number of web add-ons, websites, APIs and services, one of the persistent security problems is the accuracy and consistency of asset management.
Good asset management is a risk for any organization and may be one of the priorities, since it is not possible to steal assets that are unknown.
With a customer base of 140,000, of which 30,000 are commercial organizations, it is important for Zen Internet to maintain the proper level of security and accurate asset management. The stink may also be due to the strong presence of DNS, as well as the stink of the provider and hosting company. In addition to ensuring the security of all its clients, they may transfer that their power-rich corporate infrastructure is also secure.
Reliable reporting and attack surface control
Zen Internet is an ASP.NET house, so most of their software is built on the .NET framework, which already has a lot of security features. However, they also use open source JavaScript components and other third-party software. So they need a way to protect all of these external assets. With the Invicti platform, they receive weekly reports that highlight outdated technologies on the website and provide a quick overview of updates that can be easily shared with team leaders to quickly fix the situation.
It is very important to be able to provide the right level of detail for the right audience. For example, executives are interested in seeing the level of risk, trends, whether the company is doing better or worse. This is the quality and depth that comes from the product.
With the Trends report feature in the Invicti platform, it is now much easier to assess a company’s success and identify areas for improvement.
False positives plague many companies that build and operate software, and Zen Internet is no exception. However, with Invicti’s Proof-Based scanning, the Zen Internet team has proof that the vulnerability being reported is real, right down to a proof-of-concept that shows the actual attack vector. And with 99.98% accuracy, each confirmation saves valuable time and reduces manual work and rework.
Control over the attack surface
The biggest benefit the Zen Internet team experienced after switching to the Invicti platform is the ability to track and manage their entire web technology stack.
The team relies on features like technology version tracking, which alerts them to outdated and vulnerable libraries or frameworks for more informed risk management.
Asset management is indeed important to Zen Internet, but it should also be a priority for everyone. The legacy technology reports we receive from Invicti are very useful to us as they directly impact our asset management mission.
Additionally, with technology reports from Invicti Enterprise, team members can improve third-party source code management and make better security decisions when building and maintaining their own repositories. All the information they gain from Invicti scans also continues to support these strategies for long-term improvements – and that’s in addition to daily vulnerability tracking.
A confident future with Invicti
Robust web application protection means Zen Internet can continue to serve its customers with confidence. With Invicti providing detailed guidance on securing third-party and proprietary code without the distraction of false positives, Michael and his teammates can provide greater transparency into their achievements, obstacles, and overall security efforts so they can continually improve the quality of their applications and services.
