Web-applications On The Receiving End Says Ibm X-force

Web applications are important facets of communication and collaboration in any organization

helping end-users to stay connected throughout the network and make use of the most updated databases to stay productive in the most realistic & efficient manner by taking crucial decision in time. But there is a darker side as well, as web attackers are finding web-based applications as an easy gateway to gobble up vast amounts of confidential information of corporate, customer, Business Partners, that in turn can bake the relationship between customers and organizations and simultaneously affect the business output adversely.

Recent IBM X-FORCE research report has flashed the darker side. It claims that 41% of all security vulnerabilities last year were a result of insecure web applications. The Verizon 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) also backed the report admitting that "Web applications remain the third most common vector overall", and added that web applications "were associated with over a third of total data loss". IBM Security AppScan is an answer to the worsening situation as touted by IBM. The security suite is to manage the vulnerability testing of the web-applications throughout its life-cycle. It automatically does the vulnerability assessments and scans and tests for all common Web application vulnerabilities including SQL-injection, cross-site scripting, buffer overflow, and new flash/flex application and Web 2.0 exposure scans.

IBM Rational AppScan Standard Edition is part of the IBM Security AppScan portfolio. IBM reviews available with reputed tech media portals read that the IBM Application Security solutions embraces "Static Application Security Testing (SAST)" to identify vulnerabilities at the source, and "Automated web application Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)" to provide acute recommendation for resolving issues. Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) coupled with JavaScript Security Analyzer and support for modernizing your legacy applications, including source code analysis of COBOL and SAP applications.

IBM Support offers personalized support tools and resources to make sure that Web-application security app can be deployed and managed in a hassle-free manner. The online portal is a hub of technical information in text and video formats that can help end-users to evaluate looming issues, and get prepared for that in advance. To let people perceive the best possible support, it has simplified the support portfolio across all IBM products by delivering intelligent resources and tools that can guide consumers to take care of the software related issues. IBM communities help the portal to keep itself updated with the emerging technologies.

Where to start? Users just need to navigate to the IBM IT Support Portal, select the products of their choice, narrow down it to the desired version or specifications, and then it automatically comes with the desired solution. One can further customize the portal by getting signed up to the portal. Those without an IBM ID can create one from any IBM web page.
