Automate More of the Web Application Security Scanning with the New Netsparker Scanners

19 January 2016, London – Netsparker Ltd today announced the new versions of both Netsparker Desktop and Netsparker Enterprise.

The new versions of Netsparker’s web application security scanners enable users to automate more of the pre scan tasks and ease the post scan tasks. Scanning hundreds and thousands of web applications, and producing more accurate web security scan results has never been easier.

Automated URL Rewrite Rules Makes Things Easier, For Everyone

Netsparker raised the bar of web application security scanning automation again. Users do not need to go through the difficult process of configuring URL rewrite rules. The latest versions of Netsparker scanners automatically configure URL rewrite rules to crawl and scan the target website more efficiently.

Refer to the whitepaper Automating the Configuration of URL Rewrite Rules in Netsparker Web Application Security Scanners for more detailed information about this technology.

Scan Policy Optimizer Wizard means More Efficient Web Security Scans

Optimized scan policies mean quicker web application security scans, but very few people have the time to manually optimize the scan policies. The new versions of Netsparker web application security scanners have an all new Scan Policy Optimizer, which enables users to automatically optimize scan policies.

Proof of Exploited Vulnerabilities Eases the Post Web Security Scan Process

Netsparker pioneered the concept of auto verifying identified web vulnerabilities, and in this version of their scanners they stepped up the game again. The scanners will now present a proof to the user that the identified vulnerabilities were exploited, thus the users do not need to manually verify those vulnerabilities.
