IBM today announced new security software designed to enable mid-sized firms
to reduce the risk of data breaches by detecting web application
vulnerabilities.
Rational
AppScan Express Edition is an automated testing solution tailored towards
firms with limited IT resources, and could help along the road to
PCI
compliance, according to IBM.
"IBM continues to offer comprehensive and cost-effective solutions through
the Express Advantage portfolio to our businesses' partners enabling them to
meet the needs of their customers as well as address their challenges," said
Steve Solazzo, general manager of IBM General Business.
"We are determined to ensure the safety of data for our business partner
ecosystem and, in turn, their customers."
Big Blue also launched a new
IT
Security Assessment Tool designed to help mid-sized firms assess the extent
of vulnerabilities.
The online tool uses research from analyst firm Aberdeen Group to provide
suggestions on how users can improve security.
