Application Security, Inc. Selected as an Official Honoree for the 14th Annual Webby Awards

April 14, 2010 - PRLog -- NEW YORK – Application Security, Inc., the leading provider of database security, risk and compliance (SRC) solutions for the enterprise, today announced that its Web film series “The UnProtected” has been selected as an Official Honoree for the 14th Annual Webby Awards in two categories: Best Website in the IT Software/Hardware category and Best Online Film & Video in the Technology category.

In the five-part Webisodic series, AppSec’s “The UnProtected” highlights real world database security, risk and compliance issues that enterprise organizations face every day. “The UnProtected" tells the story of Greencrest Financial, a financial services firm that must achieve compliance by the end of the quarter. Unfortunately, not only is Greencrest failing its audit, but to make matters worse, the firm's credit card table is suddenly hacked, compromising tens of thousands of sensitive customer records.

“To be selected as an Official Honoree in two distinct categories is quite an honor for AppSec,” said Thom VanHorn, vice president of global marketing, AppSec. “We had a lot of fun writing and producing the Web series, but more importantly it gave us the opportunity to convey the importance of database security, risk, and compliance in a way that is fun, easy to understand, and valuable to our customers and prospects.”

"The UnProtected" was written by Aaron F. Schnore and was directed by Jorge Rivera, both long-time Application Security, Inc. employees.

“The UnProtected” can be viewed online at www.theunprotected.net.
