Innovate with confidence
The ever-increasing number of online security and privacy breaches presents a serious challenge for many businesses. Exposure of corporate, customer, Business Partner and financial data can have an adverse affect on an organization’s identity, customer or Business Partner relations and business results.
Web applications, in particular, appeal to attackers because they are often the gateway to vast amounts of confidential information, such as customer files and credit card information.
Recent IBM X-FORCE® research revealed 41% of all security vulnerabilities last year were a result of insecure web applications. Furthermore,, the Verizon 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report concluded 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". Application vulnerabilities cannot be ignored!
IBM Application Security offers a complete end-to-end web application security solution to help clients preemptively find and remediate vulnerabilities, block attacks in real-time and granularly control access to applications.
IBM Application Security can help you deliver innovative, secure web applications with confidence – and help you lower costs. IBM Application Security solutions ensure that security is factored into the initial design and not bolted on after the fact. In fact, IBM Security provides one of the leading application security testing suites. It manages vulnerability testing throughout the software development life cycle.
IBM Application Security solutions provide you with:
- Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to identify vulnerabilities at the source
- Automated web application Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) with intelligent fix recommendations
- Extended coverage through Glass box scanning using Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and JavaScript Security Analyzer
- Support for modernizing your legacy applications, including source code analysis of COBOL and SAP applications
- Automated correlation of static and dynamic analysis results (reporting hybrid analysis)
Real results
SAP (PDF, 756KB) uses IBM Application Security software to reduce the manual effort of security testing, and to help avoid data breaches. An additional benefit is the education of their development staff in application security practices.
General Services Administration (GSA) used IBM Application Security software to rapidly analyze multi-million lines of code and delivered fast access to the latest vulnerability and remediation information to ensure an updated application was secure inside and out – before it was deployed.
