GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ciber, a leading global IT consulting company, and WhiteHat Security, the only application security provider that combines the best of technology and human intelligence, are partnering to help enterprise customers quickly and cost-effectively transform their business by modernizing and securing their mission-critical applications.

The joint solution includes Ciber Momentum™, a software-as-a-service platform for accelerating application modernization, and WhiteHat Sentinel, a software-as-a-service platform used throughout the software development lifecycle to find and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. 

"Many organizations rely on legacy applications that cannot support the pace of innovation required in today's market," said President and CEO of Ciber, Michael Boustridge. "The partnership between Ciber and WhiteHat addresses two critical issues and overlapping concerns that come up in nearly all of my conversations with CIOs: rapid, flexible delivery of modern, cloud-enabled applications and assurance that these updated architectures are secure and meet compliance standards."

Ciber Momentum helps companies quickly transform custom systems into modern solutions – enabling competitiveness through speed and agility in business process innovation. WhiteHat Sentinel, which is backed by a team of over 150 security researchers from the WhiteHat Threat Research Center, will be used with Ciber Momentum to identify vulnerabilities and ensure the new code is secure. Customers will benefit by knowing their applications have been thoroughly inspected, that all critical vulnerabilities have been addressed, and that the combined Ciber and WhiteHat solution has provided a secure environment for future business initiatives.
