San Francisco-based New Relic has launched a new interactive security testing platform that tracks and identifies software vulnerabilities in real-time, the company shared with QA Financial.
The web tracking, testing and analytics company said its solution includes a proof-of-exploit reporting for application security tool.
The new capabilities will allow customers identifying exploitable vulnerabilities in real-time, reproduce the issue, and fix specific threat vectors before launching the code, according to Manav Khurana, the current chief product officer.
New Relic is widely used by financial services firms across the US for its cloud-based software that tests and tracks user interactions and service operators’ software and hardware performance.
“Such enhancements will assist security and engineering teams by enabling them to focus on actual application security issues, and keep false positives at bay,” he explained.
“The OWASP benchmark has validated these features with a result of 100% accuracy,” Khurana noted.
IAST platform
The platform, called Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), strengthens DevSecOps by fostering cooperation between developers and security teams, encouraging them to write secure code that” can withstand future threats and champion a pre-emptive stance on security,” Khurana continued.
“IAST furthers this mission, offering engineering and IT teams the method to identify actual application security threats with the same platform used for application performance monitoring,” he stated.
Elaborating on the proof-of-exploit reporting feature. Khurana said comprises “dynamic assessment capabilities detecting vulnerabilities via simulation of real-world attacks, showcasing potential versus detected exposures for quick replication, remediation, and validation of fixes.”
