Automated Web Application Scanning (WAS) solutions help you discover web apps running in your network, determine whether they are vulnerable to attack, understand how to fix them, and protect your business. This checklist of best practices will save you time and help you understand what to look for when selecting a WAS solution, whether you have a handful of apps or thousands.
Vulnerabilities in web applications are a major vector for cyber-crime. In large organizations, vulnerable web applications comprised 54% of all hacking breaches and led to 39% of compromised records, according to the 2012 Data Breach Investigation Report by Verizon Business.
This paper describes how large enterprises can effectively discover, catalog and scan web applications to control this major risk vector as part of their organization’s overall vulnerability management program.
With attackers getting more sophisticated every day, manual methods of locating and testing web-based apps are no longer enough. The right Web Application Scanning (WAS) solution can help you systematically: discover web apps running in your network, determine whether or not they are vulnerable to attack, understand how to fix them, and protect your business while fixes are being implemented
Choosing a solution for Vulnerability Management (VM) is a critical step toward protecting your organization's network and data. Without proven, automated technology for precise detection and remediation, no network can withstand the daily onslaught of new vulnerabilities that threaten security.
Learn the 8 best practices for selecting a Web Application Scanning solution and see how you can select the right solution for your organization’s needs.
There are many ways to uncover Web application vulnerabilities. This white paper examines a few of these vulnerability detection methods – comparing and contrasting manual penetration testing with automated scanning tools. What you’ll discover is that neither of these methods are an exhaustive method for identifying Web application vulnerabilities.
