Application Security Inc. Announces Updated Version of Flagship Database Application Vulnerability Assessment Solution– AppDetective 4.1

New York, NY – October 19, 2004 – Application Security Inc. (www.appsecinc.com,) today released a new version of its database application vulnerability assessment scanner – AppDetective 4.1. Customers now benefit from heightened protection of their most sensitive assets via several new features. For example, support for Oracle’s OPatch tool – a standardized patch management framework – enables AppDetective 4.1 to more easily determine which Oracle patch is being run on a system. As a result, AppDetective can more quickly tune it’s auditing to focus on the most relevant, highest risk vulnerabilities.

Also new to AppDetective 4.1 is support for IBM WebSphere in the AppDetective for Web Applications module. Not just a collection of generic Web server tests, this addition provides an in-depth security assessment of web applications installed on IBM WebSphere through a series of WebSphere-specific checks and tests.
