IBM today will release a new version of the Watchfire AppScan vulnerability scanning tool. The tool can test for the pervasive cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability found in many Web applications. CSRF is considered a sleeping giant of a flaw that could cause big problems for Websites. IBM Rational AppScan Standard Edition 7.7 represents the first new release of the Web app security scanning tool since IBM acquired Watchfire in July. It’s been a big month for IBM in security — the company rocked the industry last week with an announcement that it will invest a whopping $1.5 billion in security.”]
