Manual tests are no longer adequate for identifying the vast number of web applications in some companies and efficiently scanning for vulnerabilities. Qualys has now presented the latest version of its Web Scanning Application (WAS), the very first in the sector to feature functions for continuous, progressive scanning. WAS uses an algorithm that scans just those parts of websites that have been changed since the last test – this reduces the total load.
The solution, which identifies security holes and vulnerabilities, such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS), aims to enable companies to guarantee the security of their web applications. Other new features include extended reporting functions. (Source: Qualys/uj)
