S.P.I. Dynamics announced the release of WebInspect 7, delivering faster scanning capabilities, broader assessment coverage, and the industry’s most accurate results. WebInspect 7 is powered by the new “Phoenix” architecture that uniquely addresses the requirements associated with complex Web 2.0 technologies.
Product highlights available with WebInspect 7 built on the Phoenix architecture:
— Faster Scans, More Accurate Results – SPI Dynamics’ new patent-pending simultaneous crawl and audit (SCA) technology combines the application crawl and audit into a single fluid process. By conducting these activities in parallel instead of sequentially, scan times are reduced by 50 percent or more.
— Immediate Results — This new auditing approach provides results to the tester within seconds of starting an assessment and continues to report in real time throughout the scan.
— Broader Coverage, Reduced False Negatives — WebInspect 7 includes intelligent scanning engines capable of analyzing complex Web 2.0 technologies to provide broader testing coverage than possible with earlier legacy scanning architectures. WebInspect 7 exposes application logic that was previously hidden, revealing security vulnerabilities undetectable through automated security testing.
— Simultaneous Scans — Users can now launch and manage multiple concurrent scans, greatly increasing testing throughput with WebInspect 7.
— Advanced Authentication Management — New automated mechanisms eliminate the complexities of authentication even with applications using advanced technologies such as two-factor authentication or CAPTCHA. WebInspect 7 can both authenticate with secure web applications and detect when re-authentication is required. This is essential to ensure complete coverage.
— Tabbed Interface — WebInspect 7’s all new tabbed interface provides easy single-point access for multiple scans and reports.
— Integrated Support Channel — Users can easily submit false positives and other feedback directly to SPI Dynamics from within the product with just one click.
— Support for IPv6 — WebInspect 7 is ready for the future Internet with full support for IPv6.
