HP Helps Businesses Stay Ahead of Hacker Threats
By

Mumbai, May 29, 2008
HP has announced the major updates to its application software as well as, a new software as- a- service offering to help businesses minimize the risk of security breaches, due to hackers' attacks and safeguard against theft of sensitive customer information.
The new release of HP Application Security Center is intended to help organizations discover, fix and prevent security vulnerabilities in their web applications. New features in the software help bridge the gaps that exist among development, quality assurance, operations and security teams within an IT organization.
"While customer-facing applications may be the lifeblood of a business, if they are not secured, they can provide an open door for hackers to a company's most sensitive data," expressed Joseph Feiman, vice president and Gartner fellow, Gartner.
He added,"Organizations must not only find security vulnerabilities in their applications, they must fix them and be vigilant about prevention throughout the application lifecycle, from requirements definition, development and testing, through production."
The new security checks are automatically updated for existing customers within 24 hours. In addition, the group researched new security issues for Web 2.0 technologies, including Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight.
HP also provides turnkey web application security assessment and penetration testing services performed by application security experts. These services use the HP SaaS offering to accelerate the assessment of an application's vulnerabilities and help customers reduce and manage risks associated with web applications that affect their business. Enhancements to HP Application Security Center are available now, and the new services are planned to be available in August.
