Web Application Security

To protect Portals, Websites and Online Services against Cybersecurity threats and common Web exploits.

Application security encompasses the measures and practices implemented to protect applications from various threats, such as vulnerabilities, malware, and unauthorized access. This includes secure coding practices, application testing, and the integration of security controls throughout the application development lifecycle.

Best Practices for Web Application Security:

• Input Validation: Ensure all user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent injection attacks and other forms of input manipulation.
• Authentication and Authorization: Implement robust authentication mechanisms (e.g., multi-factor authentication) and ensure proper access control measures are in place.
• Secure Communication: Encrypting the data transmitted between the client and server to protect from eavesdropping and tampering.
• Error Handling: Implement proper error handling to avoid exposing sensitive information or application internals through error messages.
• Session Management: Secure user sessions by implementing appropriate session timeout policies, secure cookies, and proper session ID generation.
• Patch Management: Update the latest patches in including web servers, application frameworks, and third-party libraries
