QualysGuard WAS 2.1 Features
Unified Dashboard
The dashboard gives users a comprehensive view of scans, results and reports. The most recent information about completed scans, reports and identified vulnerabilities are all available.
Discover, Catalog and Scan Web Applications
Web application discovery and cataloging ensures comprehensive scanning coverage and application management. Discovery identifies web applications in the environment and adds to the catalog, enabling organizations to easily manage large numbers of web applications.
Interactive Reporting
Interactive reporting supports powerful analysis and secure distribution of scan results. Web application, scan and scorecard reports can be created, saved and scheduled to run on a recurring basis. The encrypted PDF support ensures secure and compatible distribution to stakeholders.
Authenticated Scanning
Given only a user name and password, the web crawler automatically identifies HTML form login page(s), and monitors the session state to ensure an authenticated scan remains authenticated throughout the crawl. Multiple authentication scanning methods are supported for each scan; including Form, HTTP Basic, NTLM and Digest.
Targeted Scan Profiles
Web application scans analyze the security of your web applications and identify detected vulnerabilities, sensitive content data and information gathered data. The test phase of WAS can use static or dynamic search lists to include targeted testing for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), source disclosure, and directory traversal.
Scan Options
There are a large number of scanning options available to ensure organizations are able to fine-tune the web application scanning. Option profiles can configure items such as maximum links to crawl, performance settings, brute force authentication attributes, detection scope, sensitive content settings as well as the search list that defines the vulnerabilities that are tested. Dynamic or static search lists can be created to target specific vulnerabilities or special classes of vulnerabilities like the OWASP Top 10. Web applications can also be configured to authenticate to servers and applications, to include or exclude testing of areas of the web application and specify the scanning device.
Subscription Options
QualysGuard WAS is also available as part of the QualysGuard Security & Compliance SaaS Suite.
