An international financial institution such as ING Insurance that has offices all over the
world, remote employees, and a sophisticated infrastructure, depends heavily on web
applications. Web applications such as internal portals, external portals, life insurance
and investment management websites, as well as, online banking web applications
are used to share data among all of the corporation's offices and employees.
Web applications are also used by ING customers and other businesses to access
their bank accounts and finances.
The above implies that a great focus has to be put on security to protect all this
information that is extremely valuable for the institution and its clients.
ING EURASIA IT Audit Team Chooses Netsparker to Detect Web ApplicationVulnerabilities
The IT Security Audit team at ING performs audits to ascertain whether numerous
websites and web applications are solid and secure.
An Automated and Easy-to-Use Web ApplicationSecurity Solution Needed
“As opposed to other web
application scanners we used,
Netsparker is very easy to use
and does not require a lot of
configuring.
“An out of the box installation of
Netsparker detecs more
vulnerabilities than any other
web application security
scanner we have used so far.
Most of these web applications are custom built, using a wide variety of commonly
used web frameworks as underlying infrastructure.
The need was evident for a solution that could meet the financial institution
requirements and that could be implemented seamlessly.
"When we were evaluating web application security scanners, Netsparker was the
scanner that identified most vulnerabilities without requiring any configuration
changes. It also identified several SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
that other scanners did not identify," said Perry Mertens, Supervisor Auditor at the ING
EurAsia IT Audit team.
ING is a global financial institution of Dutch origin, currently offering banking,
investments, life insurance and retirement services to meet the needs of a broad
customer base.
When a company has the need to audit many web applications on a continuous basis,
they need to make sure that the right tools are used to detect all web application
vulnerabilities possible, to keep malicious hackers out and make sure their customers'
money is secure at all times.
The ING EurASIA Audit team chose Netsparker over several other web application
security scanners because:
• It is a very easy-to-use web application security scanner.
• Penetration testers do not need to spend hours configuring it because, by default, it
• supports a wide variety of web application technologies.
• Implementations can generate meaningful reports.
• It is affordable.
Why did ING IT Audit Team Choose Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner?
