Application Security

"Organizations must have a clear direction on how to plan, develop and sustain best practices of building more reliable & secure applications from the beginning of the cycle." - Gartner

Perimeter Security Includes Web Application Source Code

Your Web application source code is a part of your perimeter security. As organizations have worked to secure their network and platform security, a new focus must be directed at the flaws within its Web applications. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) maintains a consensus of the most critical Web application security flaws including:
  • Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Injection Flaws
  • Malicious File Execution
  • Insecure Direct Object Reference
  • Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
  • Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling
  • Broken Authentication and Session Management
  • Insecure Cryptographic Storage
  • Insecure Communications
  • Failure to Restrict URL Access
