Re: Web Application Vulnerability Scanner

[Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

Jax,

There are multiple commercial solutions available which would satisfy your 
PCI requirements; WebInspect, Qualys, WatchGuard to name a few of the Best 
of Breed. However, the best choice really depends on your internal 
security expertise and ability to translate tool results output to PCI 
compliant-ese or the tool's built-in reporting capabilities.

My personal recommendation would be WebInspect on the strength of the tool 
from a purely security focus but if you are looking for plug n play 
solution which outputs results in PCI format to run past your auditors 
your best bet may be Qualys.

Hope that helps some. If you have more questions please feel free to ping 
me off-list.
