Identifying Vulnerabilities in Web Applications Before Deployment

Automated web security and vulnerability scanning have evolved in the last few years. Nowadays it is not just about scanning a web application before it is deployed in a live environment, but one has to ensure security is thought for, and the code is secure even during the early stages of development. If security is not thought for during the early stages of development, it might be too expensive or sometimes even impossible to fix a security flaw at a later stage.

Following the best security practices, T4G are a proof that automated scans are indeed needed at different and early stages of development. In fact it is not the first time that Netsparker identified significant vulnerabilities during a routine web security scan of web applications which are still being developed.
