NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Application Security, Inc., the leading provider of database security, risk and
compliance (SRC) solutions for the enterprise, today announced that ASM
Research, Inc., an information solutions integrator and leading provider of
innovative technology solutions for the federal government, has standardized on
AppDetectivePro. ASM Research has deployed AppDetectivePro`s agentless database
scanning technology for database discovery and vulnerability assessment to meet
compliance requirements.
With tens of thousands of licenses shipped worldwide, AppDetectivePro is the de
facto standard for database SRC audits. AppDetectivePro discovers, examines,
reports and proposes fixes for database security vulnerabilities and
misconfigurations. The solution provides ASM Research with the automated audit
and reporting functionality its Department of Defense (DoD) and Pentagon
customers require to comply with the latest DISA database configuration
requirements.
Because it is agentless, AppDetectivePro can be rapidly implemented and provide
immediate time to benefit. The solution provides auditors, IT advisors and
internal audit teams with detailed compliance reports and a comprehensive view
of an organization`s database asset inventory, vulnerability profile, access
controls and entitlements to sensitive information.
"Our clients include many of the largest Department of Defense agencies, so it`s
critical that we offer the analytics and reporting capabilities required to
comply with DISA STIG policy standards," said Orlando Ferreiras, Director of
Security, Information Assurance Services, ASM Research, Inc. "We selected
AppDetectivePro because of its comprehensive coverage of the DISA STIGs, and its
enhanced access control mining capabilities, which are the most comprehensive in
the industry."
AppDetectivePro has long set the standard for database vulnerability scanning,
assessment and compliance capabilities. As the de-facto standard solution for
DISA STIG (Defense Information Systems Agency - Security Technical
Implementation Guide) database assessments, AppDetectivePro provides auditors
and IT advisors with the checks and control processes necessary to gain
compliance and obtain the market`s most comprehensive multi-platform coverage.
"With over thirty years experience in providing information assurance solutions
to the federal government agencies, ASM Research understands the requirements to
successfully scan and audit databases," said Dave McNamara, vice president of
Americas sales, Application Security, Inc. "AppDetectivePro eliminates manual
processes and ensures that their client database audits address the compliance
