What Is Web Application Security?<\/h2>\n

Web application Security plays a critical role in half of all breaches that happen around the world. With all this going around for a while now, a meager 10% of companies secure all their critical applications and have the applications reviewed on security stance before and during production.<\/p>\n

Of late, the need arises for companies to be clear on their web application security<\/strong> agenda. There is a dire need to replace fragmented, manual pen testing with ongoing, automated scanning. By doing so, they can defend their global application infrastructures. And this would also do away with the need for hiring extra consultants, the installation of more servers and scanning tools.<\/p>\n

Web App Security Definition<\/h2>\n

Web application security refers to the methodology of securing websites and internet services against various security threats<\/a> that make use of vulnerabilities in an application\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s code. The most common victims of web application attacks<\/strong> are content management systems like WordPress, database administration tools like phpMyAdmin, and SaaS applications.<\/p>\n

Notable Reasons To Why Cyber-attackers Target Web Applications<\/h2>\n

Web Applications have become the simplistic route for comfortable attacks to be carried on by cyber-attackers as they prove to be least resistant. The below-mentioned reasons attribute for remaining as their prime target:<\/p>\n

Web applications as the terminology suggest are continually exposed to the Internet. So, it is a bit easy to penetrate by external attackers using open tools that look for common vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is easy to attack usual targets like the network and host operating system layers which have their security tightened over time. In addition to this, the operating systems and networks are secured by mitigating controls like the IDS\/IPS systems and next-gen firewalls.<\/p>\n

When the time is insufficient and the need to deliver the product is creeping up then the testing phase may skip a few procedures. This might lead to vulnerabilities being exposed as the security concerns being overlooked.<\/p>\n

The critical vulnerabilities may arise when the applications are compiled from hybrid code a mix of in-house development, outsourced code, and open source. This is due to the lack of proper visibility into the mechanisms and components. <\/p>\n

The Web 2.0 technologies that incorporate complex client-side logic such as JavaScript (AJAX) and Adobe Flash present a larger attack surface.<\/p>\n
