Experts risk indigestion without RISKS DIGEST
In the last article, I got sidetracked into demonstrating that the number of articles published every year about security issues has been growing steadily for the last 30 years.

Do you know where your security holes are?
We all worry that there's some lurking security problem in our servers. We do what we can, patching, following best practices, keeping up-to-date with training and news. But wouldn't it be great to have an automated tool to check our work? That's the promise of vulnerability analyzers: products that detect problems in configuration, applications, and patches.

How we tested vulnerability analyzers
We developed a test methodology and evaluation criteria in six main areas, including results reporting, product controls and manageability, scan results, vulnerability workflow features, interoperability, and updates and protocol support. Read More
Vulnerability analyzers offer Web scanning as an option
Web scanning is different from vulnerability scanning because it looks for bugs in the Web apps themselves, rather than the software installed on the Web server. For example, all of the vulnerability scanners told us about an old embedded system on our network vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack because of an old version of PHP. That's just normal vulnerability scanning, and depending on your Web applications and Web server settings may turn out a lot of false positives. But actually finding an exploitable script on a Web site requires a more intense search, coming in from the outside, and a more specialized type of scanner. Read More
