Web Application Security
Developing and operating secure web applications is an ongoing process.
What does Web Application Security mean?
Web application security is the specialization of aramido IT Security Consulting. The process of making a web application secure involves several steps. Starting with the design of the architecture according to the principles of Security by Design through the implementation of the code in various programming languages such as Java, PHP, or .Net and frameworks like Symfony, Ruby on Rails, or AngularJS, various best practices must be observed.
The most renowned organization dedicated to web application security is the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP). The best-known OWASP project is the OWASP Top Ten, the list of the ten most common web application vulnerabilities, which is updated every three years. These include, for example, SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and broken authorization. OWASP also offers web developers a wealth of other helpful resources and tools to support the development of secure web applications, such as the OWASP Proactive Controls, a collection of guidelines for secure programming, or the OWASP Cheat Sheets with checklists and best practices for various development environments and programming languages (e.g., HTML5, REST, XML, AJAX, iOS).
Do you have web applications in use that were developed wholly or partially individually? Then it is advisable to have these web applications regularly examined through web application penetration tests as part of the security process.
