Protect Web Assets With Netsparker and Proof-Based Scanning™

/in /by

How confident are you in your web application security?

Security vulnerabilities can leave you open to unauthorized users accessing your web application and the information it holds. This data is the foundation of your operational consistency, and any threats need to be minimized – or eliminated.

Too often, executives believe existing network security measures cover more than they actually do, complicating the full security picture and widening the gap between security and where vulnerabilities are. The last thing you need is to be kept up at night worrying about security issues, and Netsparker has you covered.

What is Netsparker?

Securing web-based assets adds a layer of complexity to your security protocols because some security measures, like antivirus software, are ineffective at protecting web assets. It would be best if you had a solution you can trust to deliver accurate scanning results, leveraging leading-edge technology to protect web assets, automate and integrate with your systems, and identify and eliminate security issues at the earliest moment possible.

Automated security vulnerability assessments with Netsparker’s Proof-Based Scanning™ prioritize solutions and proactivity over resource-intensive reactivity mindsets. Once assets are identified for scanning, Netsparker’s Proof-Based Scanning™ reports vulnerabilities and delivers unparalleled accuracy – zero false positives or skipped processes, like those requiring authentication.

How Can You Benefit from Netsparker?

Automate your web security

Automatically discover your assets based on IP addresses and domains, automatically crawl and scan legacy and modern web applications, like HTML5, Web 2.0, Single Page Applications, and password-protected applications. Vulnerabilities are identified and automatically prioritized. Automation is key!

Scale as you grow

Netsparker scales with the scope of your security needs, safely discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities to provide detailed, clear, and concise reporting.

Improve efficiency

As a vulnerability management solution, Netsparker integrates with issue trackers like Azure DevOps and Jira so you can assess, fix, and re-test your web applications without duplicated efforts or costs. Issues can also be automatically assigned to a developer, including issue and update notifications.

Compliance

Transparency is crucial, and Netsparker’s customizable compliance reports include ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, and offers third-party validation.

Where is the Proof?

The automation and accuracy rate of Netsparker Proof-Based Scanning™ are the innovations so desperately needed by modern businesses relying on sophisticated IT systems. Dashboards and detailed reports are just the start of how Netsparker can revolutionize your web application security.

Regardless of the number of web applications you manage, websites you have, or the volume of information you secure, Netsparker seamlessly integrates security for your web application.

Why Netsparker?

The only solution available that provides security in an integrated package with efficiency, accuracy and delivers peace of mind, Netsparker’s Proof-Based Scanning™ is for you.
