SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

nCircle, the leader in information risk and security performance management, today announced significantly expanded nCircle WebApp360 coverage including extended discovery for leading content management systems, third-party Javascript libraries and automatic detection of virtual hosts. WebApp360 is now included with nCircles award winning, agentless vulnerability management system, IP360 at no charge.

The new version of WebApp360 detects a wide variety of both XSS and SQL injection attacks through expanded coverage of critical web applications, improved ease of use, and faster, more comprehensive scans. WebApp360 allows enterprises to automatically and continuously detect critical web application vulnerabilities and place them in context of overall IT risk enabling security teams to focus resources on the tasks that will have the greatest impact on security.

Web application flaws are one of the fastest growing categories of vulnerabilities so its no surprise that web application security incidents are becoming increasingly common and expensive for companies of every size, said Lamar Bailey, director of security research and development for nCircle. Improving web application security requires a comprehensive, risk-based approach that puts web application risks in context of overall security risk. IT security teams need tools that allow them to determine the criticality of the application and the severity of defect to determine risk priorities.

Expanded Content Management System Coverage

WebApp360 now detects two of the most popular content management systems; WordPress and Joomla. Over 54% of all websites that employ a content management system use WordPress and Joomla has ranked in the top three content management systems for the last three years. WebApp360 allows administrators to find all outdated or vulnerable versions of WordPress and WordPress plug-ins as well as Joomla installations.

Vulnerability detection for WordPress is available now and will be available soon for Joomla.

Client-side Web Application Library Detection

WebApp360 now discovers third-party Javascript libraries used on websites including jQuery, Scriptaculous and Closure. WebApp360 users are now able to easily find third party libraries and discover those that are out-of-date and more vulnerable to attack.
