Qualys Announces BrowserCheck – Free Browser Security Testing Service

Qualys today announced the availability of a free service, Qualys BrowserCheck, to help consumers and corporate users fix security issues in their browsers.When run interactively by users of major Windows web browsers, Qualys BrowserCheck scans the browser as well as its plug-ins to identify insecure and out-of-date versions that put its users at risk.

"The threat of browser-based attacks is growing and the number of security flaws in browser plug-ins is rising. Users must be aware of their browsers' security and protect themselves from malicious activity," said Avivah Litan, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.

The free service is available at http://browsercheck.qualys.com. Watch a demo of BrowserCheck with Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek on the Qualys community.
