Integrated Dynamic and Static Scanning

Partnering is not the same thing as having a single owner for both  
tools.  I also believe WhiteHat is "hire them and they do it" model,  
though they do put hardware in your enterprise.  IIRC, you could not  
do all the work yourself if you had whatever components they provided.

I don't think AppScan and the Ounce programs will be integrated to  
this extent soon, but it would be much easier, since they are both in  
the same company.    That level of integration is highly unlikely  
without the "common owner" this deal provides.

The end result may or may not be better, especially if they take the  
IBM trend of charging more rather that the simpler model Ounce was  
taking recently.  (Though was that sustainable?)

I would be interested in hearing how the Fortify/WhiteHat integration worked.
