Just knowing where your holes might be is a difficult job. AppScan will speed how you find and fix application vulnerabilities throughout your site. You can leverage AppScan's expert insight to enhance your manual system and give your site greater application security with a minimum of hassle or disruption. A vital tool for your in-house security experts, developers and QA personnel, AppScan analyzes applications, points to potential security loopholes and provides guidance and advice on how to mend any bugs discovered.
Most online enterprises lack expertise and knowledge about application security.
The alternative to AppScan is a completely manual audit process that devours time and is only as effective as the person conducting it. Not only does someone have to review the application line by line and understand the code intimately, they also have to try to imagine or anticipate potential security loopholes in it. Worse yet, today's Web applications are constantly changing and being upgraded while third party vendors are continually issuing patches that need to be implemented. Manual application patching is simply not an option anymore. In light of all these constraints, many organizations out-source security responsibility to consultants and service providers.
