Web Application Security Strategy
Web applications are at the center of business operations and user experience development across many industries today. With the increasing use of web-based applications has come a simultaneous surge in corresponding vulnerabilities. Malicious hackers tend to exploit bugs in code and design architectures to access sensitive information. Substantial security measures and frameworks are needed to protect applications from the security risks identified in the OWASP top 10. This paper discusses the threat landscape described by OWASP in the context of relevant application security principles, the need for security during the SDLC lifecycle, and novel methods for achieving it.
