HP Launches Applications Threat Analysis for Sftware Development Lifecycle

HP's Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis, available worldwide, is the industry’s first early life cycle security assessment service that increases security assurance by addressing latent defects in applications and architecture. The service provides architectural as well as design guidance alongside recommendations for security controls and best practices. Companies can then implement recommendations from the assessment’s comprehensive findings report to reduce costs associated with vulnerability rework and potential defects while minimizing the need for post-release updates to address security flaws.

As part of the HP Secure Advantage portfolio, the service helps organizations better address security and regulatory needs. It also defends against attacks while reducing the total cost of application ownership. The service is an integral part of the HP Cyber Security portfolio, which helps organizations leverage advances in technology and share information securely while protecting sensitive information and critical infrastructure. “Customers are under increasing pressure from threats that exploit security weaknesses that were either missed or insufficiently addressed during early life cycle phases,” said Chris Whitener, chief security strategist, Secure Advantage, HP. “The HP Comprehensive Applications Threat Analysis service helps organizations reduce hidden weaknesses early in the assessment process and provides recommended mitigation strategies and secure design principles.”
