17 January 2006
S.P.I. Dynamics Incorporated (http://www.spidynamics.com), the Web application security expert, today announced the latest version of its Web application security assessment solution, WebInspect 5.8. WebInspect is the first and only Web application security assessment product to offer support for automated security assessments of Web applications that use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) software development technology. In addition, WebInspect 5.8 provides enhanced integration with SPI Dynamics' recently announced Assessment Management Platform 2.0 (AMP(TM)), the comprehensive solution for managing, tracking, and measuring Web application security risk throughout a distributed environment.
AJAX is a method of building interactive applications for the Web that process user requests immediately. AJAX is an aggressively evolving software development technology used by industry leaders such as Google and Microsoft. "AJAX represents the future of Web application technology. SPI Dynamics believes that by the end of 2006 30 percent of all Web applications will be AJAX-based," adds Erik Peterson, VP of Product Management for SPI Dynamics. "Applications like Google Maps represent a new challenge for Web application professionals who have to ensure their security. It's a new technology that presents new security concepts. SPI Dynamics is the first Web application security company to provide automatic assessment capabilities for this promising technology."
In addition, SPI Dynamics AMP 2.0 (announced today: http://www.spidynamics.com/news/pr/pr11606a.html) tightly integrates with WebInspect 5.8 to extend the existing capabilities of WebInspect for complete enterprise-wide Web application security risk assessment. AMP enables WebInspect 5.8 users to scale the intelligent scanning technology within a distributed environment to consolidate assessment information into a single enterprise database and to provide centralized control and oversight of the application risk assessment and software development process.
AMP 2.0 sophisticated management capabilities enable granular control over WebInspect activities throughout the software development lifecycle, including user access, scanning rights and report access to extend the security team so security professionals can remotely activate and schedule enterprise-wide local, regional or global application assessments without requiring a user to provide hands on scan management.
