Technology, a global leader in web application vulnerability assessment
software, announced the general availability of Sandcat™
Professional Edition 2.7, the latest release of Syhunt's powerful
fault-injection test tool. Sandcat now provides OWASP PHP Top 5
Vulnerabilities testing and closely follows the new “Open Web
Application Security Project” (OWASP) guidelines. The OWASP PHP 5
testing covers remote command execution, XSS (cross-site scripting),
SQL injection, PHP configuration and filesystem attacks, and can help
minimize these security threats.
Syhunt's tradition of innovation continues with Sandcat Professional
2.7. Sandcat Pro Edition 2.7 is designed to enable Web developers and
administrators find and fix web application vulnerabilities, ensuring
that their Web infrastructure is secure.
Sandcat can help developers determine conformance with the most
important SANS and OWASP guidelines, such as the SANS Top 20, the OWASP
Top 10 and the recent OWASP PHP Top 5.
These guidelines address the most critical security problems facing
companies today and have been developed with input from hundreds of
professionals in the security industry.
"Before Sandcat, companies had to manually test web applications, which
is usually a difficult, cumbersome and time-consuming task" said Felipe
M. Aragao, Syhunt chairman and chief executive officer. "With Sandcat,
companies of any size, from small and mid-size businesses to enterprise
corporations can now effectively and rapidly test their web
applications to ensure they meet the recommendations from the current
guidelines."
Aditional tools in Sandcat Pro include Sandcat Log Analyzer which can
analyze Web server logs to find attacks; and Sandcat Hardener, a web
server hardening tool that evaluates security threats and identifies
appropriate countermeasures at the web server configuration stage.
Sandcat now also allows to specifically scan for SQL Injection or XSS
vulnerabilities.
Pricing and Availability
Sandcat 2.7 is available now for download online. Pricing begins at
$349 US and is based on the number of web servers that require scanning
and the number of users that will be performing the security assessment.
