The new release of HP application security center helps organizations discover, fix and prevent security vulnerabilities in their web applications.

New features in the software help bridge the gaps that exist among development, quality assurance, operations and security teams within an IT organization.

This lifecycle approach helps companies comply with government and industry regulations, such as the Federal Information Security Management Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, and the European Union Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications.

“While customer-facing applications may be the lifeblood of a business, if they are not secured, they can provide an open door for hackers to a company’s most sensitive data,” said Joseph Feiman, VP, Gartner.

In a recent survey of 1,000 IT professionals worldwide, 80 per cent said that responsibility for application security falls to their security or operations teams, while less than 27 per cent said that their development or quality assurance teams share the responsibility.

“Technology underpins our entire business, and our IT organization strives to deliver predictable outcomes,” said Christopher Rence, CIO and VP, Fair Isaac Corp.

”One of the solutions we rely upon to do this is HP application security center, which provides a comprehensive capability for testing, remediation and prevention throughout our development lifecycle,” Rence added.
