Many organisations traditionally check applications for security vulnerabilities as an afterthought before deployment or even in production. In any case, ensuring the security of an application was not in your job description.
But that has changed. With users’ increased reliance on web-based applications and more regulations governing privacy, a security breach can not only be detrimental in terms of business performance and costs but also reflect negatively on your business.
And since industry analysts have identified that 70 percent of security vulnerabilities exist in the application layer security testing must now be integrated throughout the application development process – and should be considered an essential part of your quality management strategy. After all, testing is all about finding defects in an application – and a security vulnerability is just another kind of defect.
The problem, however, is that application security testing tools are limited with existing tools often requiring security and vulnerability expertise. But not with HP Application Security Center. This solution helps you, with minimal security expertise, quickly and cost-effectively perform a security risk assessment to detect and correct security vulnerabilities and defects.
