Software Security and Software Vulnerability Scanning – An Overview
Software vulnerability scanning and software threat assessments for business software protects valuable software assets and can expose software vulnerabilities to malicious or otherwise irresponsible behavior. Sometimes the software threats are due to nothing other than the providing publicly accessible information through a web page. This article demonstrates how A1 Enterprise ScanTrust software security helps organizations take pro-active steps to ensure that their software technology assets remain secure from vulnerabilities and malicious threat of software attack.
Software Security Process – Scope
The scope of ScanTrust software security scanning involves scanning and analyzing software threats for your existing web sites and database applications. We test for software and web site vulnerabilities that may leave proprietary and confidential information as well as servers and server hardware vulnerable to destructive or malicious behavior.
The software security / vulnerability scan and analysis leads us to identify what software security updates are required to ensure the software or web stie is secure from vulnerabilities such as hack threats. A1 Enterprise uses software testing methods which produce thorough Application Vulnerability Assessments.
Software security scanning services also give customers who are required to comply with HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory requirements. Such organizations include (but are not limited to) banks, investment firms, and health care providers.
Software Security Scanning – The Process
The software security scan process can take 4 hours, for example, depending on the size of the application and database. After the software security scan has completed, A1 Enterprise submits a comprehensive software security report illustrating what components and features in the application are vulnerable to software security threat. A1 Enterprise may setup a software security testing environment on behalf of the customer to ensure the software security scanning process does not impact a live web site.
Software Security Recommendations
A1 Enterprise uses the software security scan results to make software security and change recommendations in order to secure web site, data, and business software applications. A typical software security scan recommendation might include revising software code so that a user is unable to gain potential administrative level access to an application using certain software vulnerabilities.
