Rackspace Cloud customers, through the Cloud Tools Program will now be able to access Cenzic's ClickToSecure Cloud solution.

"The myriad of recent hacker attacks and security breaches on numerous sites from Sony to U.S. Senate should be a wake-up call about the importance of testing Web applications for security holes," said John Weinschenk, president and CEO for Cenzic, in a press release.

"ClickToSecure Cloud was designed to take the guesswork out of the equation, allowing organizations with zero Web security expertise to ensure their websites are both protected from hackers and compliant with industry regulations. We are excited to now make our tool available to the Rackspace community."

Customers of Rackspace, with the help of ClickToSecure Cloud are able to select different types of Web application vulnerability options that will detect "holes" or vulnerabilities in their website -- from a standard "HealthCheck" to one that provides PCI (News - Alert) 6.6 assurance.

"We are pleased to have Cenzic join the Rackspace Cloud Tools Program," said Nishan Sivathasan, director of corporate development for Rackspace. "The ClickToSecure Cloud solution offers Rackspace customers a simple option to increase the security around their Web applications."
