Hello All,
I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question for the list, but who are the top consulting companies or vendors for webapp security?
Specifically, I'm searching for consulting orgs that can audit a complex web site with some ecommerce functions.
Thanks,

In my personal opinion the founding guys of OWASP would be the best fit for your webapp security consulting needs.
They also have a seperate company called "Aspect Security" http://www.aspectsecurity.com

BTW - I do not have any direct or indirect connectsion with them but I personally workd with them on couple of occasions and based on my experience with multiple vendors "Aspect Security" guys are among the best for web app security needs

Hello.

You might want to look at these guys. They did some really impressive stuff
at the place I used to work at with our ecommerce site.

http://www.korelogic.com/

If you can get the guys at their St. Louis office then I would also
recommend this group.

Thanks.

Darren

I would not consider Trustwave for any web application testing. They
are a PCI shop.
I highly recommend WhiteHat. Everyone there really knows this area.
Also, Spidynamics, or even Cybertrust,

I'll keep this to vendors since I don't want to pimp my own company for the
consulting portion of the question (trying to keep this advice neutral...
but if you want to contact me off-list we kick ass in this area. Just
sayin'... *grin*)

I've used SPI Dynamic's WebInspect many times in the past both as an
engagement-based license and as an annual purchase customer and can attest
that the product is top notch. SPI was bought by HP so it's HP WebInspect
now.

Watchfire's AppScan is also an excellent product. With the newest release
you have the ability to use external modules/apps for various call-out
purposes or data dumps so it provides a fairly nice framework workspace with
a lot of flexibility and extension. I don't have as much hands-on with their
newest as WebInspect but they have consistently been solid.

Others have mentioned vendors to look into but you have to realize that
without some in-house expertise to get the best ROI and performance from
these tools you're only going to catch the low-hanging fruit. If your
application environment is very complex automated tools will only get you so
far and will miss a lot. If these are major concerns then you may be better
off going with a services solution provider that specializes in the area.
You don't specify if this is compliance driven which is another factor to
consider. Some consulting shops will provide great results from a
vulnerability assessment viewpoint but may not be able to adequately address
compliance or auditing concerns.

Hope you find the info you are looking for,

To start with,I’m a Trustwave employee. I’m sure that Clint did not intend to deceivereaders, which is why he made no attempt to conceal his identity.

Inthe further interest of full disclosure, Dave is a former employee whomay not be aware of our current offerings. While Trustwave is bestknown for its PCI division, we also have a group that does nothing butcode review and application testing. In fact, the individuals in thisgroup do no work at all on PCI. Further, Trustwave's code review andapplication pen testing processes are completely manual, as opposed toa primarily automated scan.

Thanks,
David Byrne
