AppSecInc provided the DOJ with the ability to inventory databases, perform automated penetration tests, execute internal audits, and rank vulnerabilities while also implementing automated processes to address common problems.

“Our philosophy is one of building security into the operational process and building our validation testing into the implementation process. Tools provided by AppSecInc allow us to identify vulnerabilities in the (database) application and then verify that we have corrected.” - Dennis Heretick, Chief Information Security Officer

Ochsner Health System

Ochsner Health System (formerly Ochsner Clinic Foundation), a not-for-profit, integrated health care delivery provider with services in two acute care hospitals, a sub-acute facility, and 25 clinics located throughout Southeast Louisiana wanted to protect its proprietary patient and research information and ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Foundation did not have the resources to manually perform auditing of its intellectual property. AppSecInc products provided Ochsner with the ability to safeguard data by perform audits efficiently and accurately and without the need for additional manpower while also protecting sensitive information, ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations.

“AppSecInc provided unprecedented capabilities in performing penetration testing and identifying weak passwords in our databases, as well as discovering and securing databases we didn’t know even existed. Audits that previously took weeks now take an hour – without affecting network performance.” - Mark Maher, Security Administrator
