Industry Analyst: Quote
- "Core Security has worked to make Web application security more accessible to a wider variety of users, particularly QA testers and developers," said Wendy Nather, research director of the Enterprise Security Practice at The 451 Group."This will help move the testing process upstream in the software development lifecycle and help to catch problems earlier, when they are less expensive to fix."
Core Security Expert: Quote
- “Web applications are frequent targets for outside threats which make proactive security assessments crucial to deliver definitive answers about where and how applications can be breached,” said Alex Horan, senior product manager at Core Security. “Core WebVerify is borne out of a need and frustration that most security people share; namely the pressure to test more in less time and with more meaningful results. People tasked with assessing the security of Web applications, which are often already live and in use, usually don’t have time to validate or process the results of scans.”
