NEW YORK - June 25, 2009 - Application Security, Inc., the leading provider of database security, risk and compliance solutions for the enterprise, received a 'recommended product'  endorsement for AppDetectivePro 6.0 in the June, 2009 CRNtech product test.

In the review, CRNtech recommended AppDetectivePro 6.0 for its ability to "aid businesses in achieving compliance and securing the network" with a robust set of applications for the database that are easy to install and manage.

The CRNtech review noted: "We found this product easy to deploy, effective at doing vulnerability assessment, and really useful for organizations that have to ensure they are following regulations such as HIPAA.  The agentless architecture does not add any load on the database performance.  AppDetectivePro is well-recommended by the Test Center."

Release 6.0 of the award-winning AppDetectivePro database scanning and assessment solution adds a powerful new User Rights Review (URR) module.  The module provides auditors, IT advisors, and consultants with a detailed view of an organization's data ownership, access controls, and rights to sensitive information.  AppDetectivePro URR automates the process allowing organizations to establish and document compliance with segregation of duties controls required by industry and government regulations, and reduces a formerly insurmountable task to a few mouse clicks on an IT advisor's laptop.

"AppDetectivePro has long set the standard for database vulnerability scanning, assessment, and compliance capabilities." said Thom VanHorn, Vice President Global Marketing, Application Security, Inc.  "CRNtech's AppDetectivePro review highlights the value that our new User Rights Review capabilities deliver to the critical exercise of identifying and eliminating weak security caused by inappropriate access controls."  

CRNtech's positive review of AppDetectivePro is the latest industry accolade for the Application Security, Inc. solution.  Earlier this year, SQL Server Magazine also named AppDetectivePro a best-in-class product, noting that it "is easy to use and should be considered by anyone seeking a vulnerability scanner."
