Application Security This Week for August 26

Big, big news out of Portswigger this week.  I'm a huge fan of OWASP ZAP, and use it daily, but this is a major uptick in web analysis tools.

A new API for Burp Suite (something ZAP has had for years) https://portswigger.net/blog/burps-new-rest-api

The introduction of 2.0 https://portswigger.net/blog/burp-suite-2-0-beta-now-available

And finally the introduction of Enterprise Edition, which effectively adds scalibility https://portswigger.net/blog/burp-suite-enterprise-edition

Really solid week of announcements.

 

In other news, AppSec consulting hits it out of the park again with advice on securing third-party JavaScript.
