Watcher v1.1.0 released
April 12th, 2009 by Chris WeberWe've made some significant improvements to the Watcher web security and compliance auditing tool in version 1.1.0. Some new checks have been added, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
I wanted to point out that Watcher helps not only in testing and auditing Web applications, but it has checks to assess the security strength of the operational configurations as well, such as the SSL version being used. We've also added a check for SharePoint related assessment, and are working to add more Sharepoing security tests in the next version.
