DevInspect(R) 3.0 Delivers an Integrated Developer Security Platform for Microsoft Visual Studio Team System with Combined Source Code and Black Box Testing

In a release earlier today S.P.I. Dynamics, Inc. (www.spidynamics.com), the leading provider of Web application security testing software and services, announced the release of DevInspect 3.0 for Microsoft Visual Studio Team System integrated defect tracking and configuration management product. The tight integration of DevInspect with Visual Studio Team System enables developers to share data about security defects with their entire development team. DevInspect is also currently available in an integrated offering for Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 and SPI Dynamics is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a member of Microsoft's Partner Advisory Council of the Visual Studio Industry Partner Program.
 
"SPI Dynamics continues to lead the market with cutting-edge Web application security solutions and research that address the future of applications. The release of DevInspect 3.0 with ASP.NET AJAX support and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System is another example of our close ongoing relationship with market leaders like Microsoft to provide an infrastructure that encourages more secure software production throughout the application lifecycle," said Brian Cohen, president and CEO, SPI Dynamics. "Our continued goal is to assist development, QA and operations teams in the facilitation of a secure development process by providing the necessary integrated tools that meet their growing needs and result in risk reduction for the entire organization at the most critical layer - the Web application."

SPI Dynamics' DevInspect offers the following benefits for Visual Studio Team System:
  • Facilitates Development Lifecycle Collaboration - Enables developers to manage and share security information through vulnerability work item management and detailed vulnerability reporting, and prevents developers from checking insecure code into the Visual Studio Team System version control system through security code check-in policies. In addition, enables developers with little to no security expertise to automatically fix vulnerabilities during development and deliver secure Web applications.
  • Offers Broadened Hybrid Analysis(TM) - SPI Dynamics' unique approach to pinpoint security vulnerabilities with unmatched accuracy and to dramatically reduce false positives. The source code analysis phase defines the application attack surface, identifying all application inputs and finding common security coding errors and all potential vulnerabilities. The black box testing phase uses the intelligence and data from the source code analysis to discover and verify exploitable security defects using automated attack techniques against running applications. This black box testing phase virtually eliminates false positives to yield the actual exploitable security vulnerabilities in the application found during source code analysis, rather than a list of potential problems that require manual review and validation.

Availability
SPI Dynamics' DevInspect 3.0 with ASP.NET AJAX support and integration with Visual Studio Team System will be available December 1st. For more information, please visit www.spidynamics.com, or contact SPI Dynamics at (866) 774-2700; info@spidynamics.com.

About AJAX Security
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) continues to maintain a steady pace as the application software development technology of the Web 2.0 future. Web 2.0 is exploding and with it comes the hard push for technology that facilitates a more interactive and responsive Web that enhances the experiences of its users. This push has encouraged quick adoption by developers and enterprise organizations of AJAX technology that dramatically improves the flexibility of Web applications. However, while AJAX can greatly improve the usability of a Web application, it can also create several opportunities for possible attack if the application is not designed with security in mind.
