Securing a web application goes far beyond testing the application using 
manual processes, or by using automated systems and tools. Watchfire's 
"Web Application Security: Automated Scanning or Manual Penetration 
Testing?" whitepaper examines a few vulnerability detection methods - 
specifically comparing and contrasting manual penetration testing with 
automated scanning tools. Download it today!
