In a bid to develop and deliver secure web applications and web services by organizations, HP(NYSE:HPQ) has announced HP WebInspect 10.0, an application-security solution that replicates real-world attacks through a guided testing process.
HP WebInspect 10.0 is an automated, configurable application security solution that dynamically tests web applications and web services to quickly and accurately identify exploitable security vulnerabilities. With HP WebInspect 10.0, security teams can efficiently manage test results and distribute actionable security intelligence and remediation guidance early in the development process. HP WebInspect 10.0 also improves secure application development by enabling security teams to share best practices to protect key entry points from attack.
"To effectively build safe and secure web applications, organizations need to be thinking about and testing for critical threats from the onset of development. HP WebInspect 10.0 empowers clients to become proactive in their security efforts, rather than reacting to attacks after they happen, by simulating attacks to identify vulnerabilities early on and preventing breaches long before they occur," said Ranndeep Singh Chonker, Country Manager, HP Enterprise Security Products, India.
HP WebInspect 10.0 includes the new Guided Scan, which is an interactive testing process based on a patent-pending Adaptive Component Recognition technique for analyzing modern complex web applications and JavaScript. This provides better handling of complex scenarios like detecting proxy misconfiguration or network authentication. HP WebInspect 10.0 also includes enhancements to workflow recording that allow the logging of application interactions by users and the tracking of business processes tied to the application being tested, making the latest version more intuitive and thorough.
HP WebInspect 10.0 starts at $1,500 and is licensed per application, named user or concurrent user. It is available through HP and HP channel partners.
