Identify Vulnerabilities in Web Services with Netsparker

Even though web services are the de facto standard for enterprise application integration, there are not good enough security tools available to help security professionals and developers alike secure them. Netsparker addresses this issue and integrates a web services vulnerability scanner within their popular false positive free web vulnerability scanner.

21 January 2014, London – Netsparker Ltd today announced version 3.2 of Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner, a leading web vulnerability scanner that helps organizations from all around the globe keep their web applications and web services secure.

With this new version of Netsparker web security professionals can automatically identify vulnerabilities and web security issues within web services. Launching a vulnerability scan against a web service is as simple as launching a vulnerability scan against a web application, by simply entering the URL and click the Start Scan button.

“Web services form a vital part of most web infrastructures, yet at the moment there aren’t many appropriate security tools available to help security professionals and developers build secure web services” explained Ferruh Mavituna, CEO of Netsparker. “We built the web services scanner into Netsparker to help organizations automatically secure their web services without the need to look for and learn how to use new and complicated security tools.“
