Application Security

As corporations leverage the power of the World Wide Web, information security has reached its third age, The Age of Application Security. Web applications can take many forms — an informational website, an e-commerce website, an extranet, an intranet, an e-exchange, a search engine, a transaction engine, an e-business. Today, web is a way to manage customer relationships, enhance supply chain operations, expand into new markets, and deploy new products and services to customers and employees. However, successfully implementing the powerful benefits of web based technologies cannot be achieved without a consistent approach to application security.

Programmers typically don’t develop Web applications with security in mind. What’s more, most companies continue to outsource the majority of their website or web application development using third-party development resources. Whether these development groups are individuals or consultants, the fact is that most programmers are focused on features and functions of the development plan and assume that security is embedded into the coding practices. However, these third-party development resources typically do not have even core security expertise. They also have certain objectives, such as rapid development schedules, that do not lend themselves to the security scrutiny required to implement a robust solution.

“One of the biggest vulnerabilities of a corporation’s network is the widespread access to its applications. To date, Internet security solutions have not been designed to handle perhaps the most crucial part of the transaction — that is, the application and its core data”

“Today over 70% of attacks against a company’s website or web application come at the ‘Application Layer’ not the network or system layer.”
