RIKEI STARTS TO SELL IBM-MADE WEB APPLICATION VULNERABILITIES DIAGONSIS TOOL "Rational AppScan."
Rikei Corporation (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Katsuei Aoyagi) would like to announce it has started to sell IBM-made Web Application Vulnerabilities security testing tool "IBM Rational AppScan."
It has become easier to attach Web sites through Internet, but sites with vulnerabilities will suffer huge damages, which is a very serious issue for companies engaged in on-line services.
IBM Rational AppScan is an industry-standard test tool which checks the security and compliance of Web applications to increase the security level. It is designed to automatically detect security vulnerabilities in programs which dynamically respond to requests coming from clients such as SQL injection, CGI, serve-let, etc. existing in common Web applications, and to provide the best solution. Thus, conformity to the compliance standard in an on-line environment is supported. Regardless of who tests, a certain level of test results is available, so this product can be used by a wide range of users from users not familiar with security matters to power users who can use a customized scan environment and expanded functions. By putting this tool in the testing process of the application development process, you can establish a standard for your quality control during the development process.
IBM Rational ApplScan is especially recommendable to users who have the following problems.
- Anxiety as you are not sure whether sufficient testing has been done.
- Awareness of huge costs spent in security testing.
- Fear as you have omitted some testing due to limited modification.
- Awareness of the need to conform to the standard such as PCI DSS, etc.
- Anxiety as you are not sure whether you have fully responded to vulnerability factors which are increasing every day.
Rikei is planning to promote and sell this product to companies in the manufacturing, financial and service industries, data centers like ISP, universities and central and local government agencies. We will be ready to provide diagnosis consultations upon request.
