The Next Generation of Web Application Security
Current Scenario: A
Tomorrow's Technology Today: A
Conclusion: Traditional Web application security scanning applications still primarily work by utilizing a static library of vulnerability signatures. As the Internet and individual applications continue to evolve, the vast number of checks that must now be submitted against a Web application to ensure an accurate assessment combined with the static nature of these checks has led to increasing problems. Today’s Web application and Web services assessment products boast thousands of static checks for security vulnerabilities like Cross-site scripting and SQL Injection. The Web application assessment software vendors have essentially been in the game of who has the best vulnerability database with the most checks. At the rate the industry is currently going with the growing number of checks, vulnerability databases will have tens of thousands of static checks in a few years. With that many checks, application scans will simply take too long. The industry has needed new technology to revolutionize the process of finding vulnerabilities. Intelligent engine technology will drastically change how customers and analysts will evaluate Web application assessment products. Static checks will remain important, but the game will change. It will be the combination of intelligent engines and static checks that will define the leaders in this space.
