By integrating the well-known “N-Stealth HTTP Security Scanner” with an extensive repository of 39,000 web attack signatures, it utilizes cutting-edge, patent-pending technology that emphasizes component-oriented security evaluation. This solution is indispensable for developers, system and security administrators, as well as IT auditors and their teams. It provides an all-inclusive package specifically designed for developers and IT security experts, offering meticulous security assessments for both web applications and server infrastructures.
