Most PowerBuilder apps are mission-critical and handle large volumes of sensitive data.
Hackers could therefore try to steal the data manipulated in PB applications using:
- SQL injections, to access, destroy or steal sensitive data
- Identity theft, by exploiting authentication weaknesses
- Denial of Access, Server Takeover, and more.
The increasing cyberattacks call for a robust solution towards application security. Regular code scanning, therefore, became essential for vulnerability assessment to prevent the hijacking of data or application functionalities.
How does Visual Expert Detect Security Vulnerabilities in PowerBuilder Code?
In four simple steps:
- Scan your code with Visual Expert to find issues.
- Locate each problem in your application.
- Check the source code.
- Edit the code to fix the issue, based on Visual Expert recommendations.
Visual Expert 2021 is the first tool to scan PB code against 300+ predefined rules to improve security, stability, and maintainability.
