eEye Digital Security tomorrow will make its first foray into the Web vulnerability space — with a new member of its Retina Security Scanner family that roots out Web application flaws. eEye founder and former CTO and chief hacking officer Marc Maiffret first revealed eEye’s plans to add Web application scanning to its portfolio in an interview with Dark Reading last August.
Maiffret said at the time that adding Web app scanning was “a natural progression” for eEye, which sells products focused on operating system and application vulnerabilities. (See eEye to Add Web Security.) The new Retina Web Security Scanner is a rebranded version of NT Objectives’s NTOSpider Web app vulnerability scanner, and is integrated with eEye’s management console, REM. eEye to Add Retina Web App Scanner - Application and Perimeter Security - Dark Reading
