It also helps in web page crawling and identification of applications to expand the coverage to attack and provide traces to confirm the identified vulnerabilities are correct.
3. Reports to be Actioned
Microfocus web inspect tool helps in creating exhaustive and quantifiable reports which are at par with business requirements. The responses are highlighted so that immediate attention is given to the attacks and flaws which are reported. The entire process can be easily repeated and retesting can be performed for the entire site, for a single flaw, or only for vulnerabilities. Apart from this, the result of the two scans can also be compared to further understand the difference or any combination.
4. Workflow Customization
The security intelligence of the enterprise can be centralised using the WebInspect tool which further aids in an in-depth understanding of the security risks of the organization.
