WhiteHat Security Expands Code Analysis Language Support

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today announced support for analyzing source code built using the PHP programming language within its Sentinel Source, the company's revolutionary Static Code Analysis solution.

What makes Sentinel Source unique in its PHP integration is the advancement in the ability for static analysis to model and simulate the execution of PHP accurately. Competitive and open source offerings are typically limited by the fact that it cannot overcome the unique challenges presented by dynamic programming languages, such as dynamic typing. WhiteHat Sentinel Source's PHP offering ships with a highly tuned type inference system that complements its patented Runtime Simulation algorithm to provide much deeper insight into source code, thereby overcoming the limitations of previous technologies.

"We are committed to building the fastest and most accurate source code analysis solution on the market today, and increasing our support for the most popular programming languages in the industry will make Sentinel Source the ideal solution for a broader range of organizations," said Jerry Hoff, vice president of the Static Code Analysis Division at WhiteHat Security. "With support for PHP, we have advanced the ability for static code analysis to identify unique challenges presented by dynamic programming languages."

Sentinel Source now supports three of the most popular web development languages: CSharp, Java and PHP. WhiteHat Security customers can now benefit from its leading application security testing solutions throughout the SDLC, from testing code on the very first day of development with Sentinel Source to production-safe testing of live websites and applications via WhiteHat's award-winning Sentinel dynamic application security testing (DAST) product line.

About Sentinel Source

Sentinel Source enables development teams to quickly and cost-effectively develop secure code as they go, minimizing exposure to risk and security breaches early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Sentinel Source tests Web applications throughout development, giving developers and security teams detailed remediation guidance to enable fixes early in the SDLC to address critical security issues, reduce risk, cost and resource-strain. Integration with WhiteHat's Sentinel DAST product line and leading Web application firewalls provides a comprehensive view of vulnerabilities in already deployed applications and allows for quick remediation through targeted virtual patching. Finally, Sentinel Source uniquely preserves the integrity of intellectual property by eliminating the need for source code to leave the premises, while still allowing clients to access WhiteHat's cloud-based verification services.
