Web application security and compliance

Web application security and compliance should be a top priority for organisations intent on protecting sensitive company, customer, and employee data, on meeting regulatory and corporate compliance requirements, and on defending against the high cost of a data breach. Web sites and their applications are high-focus targets for hackers because they provide a direct route to corporate or personal data.

IBM Rational Web application security software helps IT and security professionals protect against the threat of attacks and data breaches. If you use your Web applications to collect or exchange sensitive or personal data, your job as a security professional is harder now than ever before. Involving Quality Assurance and development in the security testing process results in higher-quality, more secure applications at a reasonable cost.

Web site compliance solutions from IBM Rational automate content scanning and analysis to help ensure compliance with privacy, accessibility, and key industry regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA, as well as internal Web quality standards.
