Blogged: Ways to test your Proxy for Security

We've talked a lot in this blog about needing to have a secure web gateway as your proxy and many of the security features that are needed to protect the organization from threats on the web. One of the things we haven't really discussed is how do you test that your proxy is actually secure from threats on the web.

The above linked website on the title bar is to a blog article on iCranium, that discusses testing the security of web applications using proxy like devices. These are four testing tools that you could use against your web proxy, while visiting different websites. These tools include: Burb Suite, Paros, Fiddler and WebScarab. Each of these has a separate focus, but together form a really powerful suite of tools for testing your the web security of your proxy, and of your web presence.
