Application Security

Application quality includes not only functionality and performance, but also web application security. While some security vulnerabilities exist in your web server or application infrastructure, at least 90 percent of those vulnerabilities exist in the web application itself. To address web application security, you must treat these security vulnerabilities as defects. As such, application security must be incorporated into your existing quality management practices within the software development lifecycle.

HP Application Security solutions enable your developers, quality assurance (QA) teams and security experts to successfully conduct web application security testing and remediation. This sophisticated, scalable, web application security solution helps you find and fix security vulnerabilities for web applications throughout the application software development lifecycle.

With these solutions, your organization can manage your software development lifecycle:

• Manage web application security testing with HP Assessment Management Platform software
• Get the next generation in web application security testing with HP WebInspect software
• Develop secure web applications and services with HP DevInspect software
• Standardize web application security testing during QA testing with HP QAInspect software

Business Service Management

With these solutions, your IT organization can:

• Consolidate event management to clean up noisy monitoring and reduce duplication of effort
• Automate service impact analysis to establish priorities, identify impacted users and provide estimated downtime information
• Monitor and manage the end-user experience in order to proactively address events before they have a negative impact
• Accelerate problem resolution by drilling down from application problems to IT components and allocating the service ticket to the correct team quickly
• Pinpoint which high-value transactions are failing and at which step in the process
• Integrate problem and incident resolution processes across service desk and application support teams

IT Service Management

The HP Software approach to ITSM efficiently addresses long-standing ITSM concerns such as staff efficiency and cost reduction. At the same time, it mitigates business risk and drives business value by applying three key principles:

1. Continuously measure and optimize IT value to the business
HP Software solutions for ITSM enable IT organizations to proactively monitor service levels to deliver expected performance, make informed decisions to balance cost and service quality, and provide decision-makers with actionable key performance indicators across the ITIL v3 service lifecycle.

2. Optimize cost control by automating IT services, processes and tasks
IT automation is the key to cutting costs, and HP Software solutions for ITSM help IT managers standardize and automate best practices to increase staff efficiency and reduce spending, integrate end-to-end service delivery, and fully understand the total cost of ownership of the services their teams deliver.

3. Mitigate risk by centralizing and enforcing processes
IT risk is business risk. Our ITSM solutions mitigate that risk by helping IT teams automate change control to minimize service disruptions and achieve regulatory compliance and certification. The also isolate potential sources of business problems and address them according to financial priorities.
