How to Get More Security with the Resources You've Got
Securing Web applications is a complex process that can be extremely expensive and difficult to manage. Large corporations typically have hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of QA and publicly-facing websites to secure. New websites are constantly being created and existing sites change all the time – with very little security oversight built into the process. Add in the constantly evolving threat landscape and the challenge can seem overwhelming. New Web hacking techniques are being discovered all the time – at least one new sophisticated attack vector is published every week.
The Hidden Costs and Complexities of Consultants & Scanner Management
Think of it this way: with a scanner, a single qualified person might be able to set-up, scan and analyze 3-5 websites per month. That’s roughly 36 – 60 per year. And, remember that’s only one scan per year per website. This method does not provide the frequency or coverage necessary to safeguard websites from attack. For organizations with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of websites, using scanners in-house requires a major investment in hiring, training, and infrastructure building – not to mention software licensing costs. The process and budget control that security professionals seek are not achieved with scanners.
Conversely, while consultants can offload assessment work and provide accurate results, they only deliver a snapshot of a website's security at expensive one-off pricing. Assessment frequency is a key component of attack prevention. Without a consistent, trackable website vulnerability management program, a company is taking too many risks with its most critical assets.
The enterprise demands security solutions that are simple, efficient, effective and scalable. In the world of website vulnerability management, these benefits are only possible with a solution built on a SaaS vision. Companies need to have the ability to assess all of their websites on an ongoing basis - they can then free-up their in-house resources to focus on fixing vulnerabilities, not just finding them. This is essential if they plan to make real, measurable improvements to their security posture, which is the goal that all companies should be focused on achieving.
