AppScan substantially reduces the time it takes today for manual testing and patching of Web applications. It is an outstanding tool for security consultants and auditors, developers and quality assurance engineers who are responsible for their dynamic site environments to be safe and stable everyday.
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.
