webScurity

webScurity Inc. was founded in 2001 to serve the needs of a large financial institution, who, despite state-of-the-art perimeter defenses (firewalls, IDS/IPS, etc.) suffered a serious security breach. A thorough investigation of the incident concluded the attacker exploited a Web application vulnerability. The way the application code was written provided an entry point for the perpetrator. Comprehensive application assessment policies were quickly instituted to make sure all Web applications adhered to secure coding guidelines before becoming available to customers, partners, and/or vendors over the Internet. Serious security flaws were discovered in over 90% of the 70+ Web applications webScurity has examined. Our proactive security products were born from this extensive knowledge base. How does your organization ensure its Web applications don't leave you exposed?
