Application Security Center

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
