IBM Rolled Out Update for Web Security Test Tool, Rational AppScan
IBM Rational AppScan is a leading provider of automated Web application security test tools that scan for common security violation, generate reports, and help manage regulatory and standards in online environments. Rational AppScan Developer Edition (DE) and Rational AppScan Build Edition are the two new editions that were released yesterday. They have a capability to integrate with Rational Application Developer and Eclipse.
Rational AppScan Developer Edition (DE) includes static analysis, black box testing, runtime analysis and string analysis. It generates actionable task lists report instead of detailed vulnerability reports. It is going to fix issues faster. The edition also integrates with Rational AppScan’s Reporting Console to provide Web-based reporting.
Rational AppScan Build Edition, meanwhile, integrates Web application security testing into build management in order to automate security testing. It concentrates to find defects early in the development phase and combines multiple analysis concept for scanning like Developer Edition.
“When the build runs, whether it be nightly or weekly, we can test for security issues as part of that build automation, and then reject the build or send back the issues to developers,” Grant said. “They can then open AppScan DE within the IDE and fix those tickets and issues.”
