Application Security

Application security 1 Application security

Application security 1 Application security encompasses measures taken throughout the application's life-cycle to prevent exceptions in the security policy of an application or the underlying system (vulnerabilities) through flaws in the design, development, deployment, upgrade, or maintenance of the application.

Application security 1 Applications only control the use of resources granted to them, and not which resources are granted to them. They, in turn, determine the use of these resources by users of the application through application security.

Application security 1 Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) updates on the latest threats which impair web based applications. This aids developers, security testers and architects to focus on better design and mitigation strategy. OWASP Top 10 has become an industrial norm in assessing Web Applications.

Application security - Methodology 1 According to the patterns & practices Improving Web Application Security book, a principle-based approach for application security includes:

Application security - Mobile application security 1 Application security is provided in some form on most open OS mobile devices (Symbian OS, Microsoft, BREW, etc.)

Application security - Mobile application security 1 There are several strategies to enhance Mobile Application security including

Application security - Security testing for applications 1 Tools for Black Box Testing include IBM Rational AppScan, HP Application Security Center suite of applications (through the acquisition of SPI Dynamics), N-Stalker Web Application Security Scanner (original developers of N-Stealth back in 2000), Nikto (open source), and NTObjectives.

Application security - Security testing for applications 1 According to Gartner Research, "...next- generation modern Web and Mobile Applications requires a combination of SAST and DAST techniques, and new interactive application security testing (IAST) approaches have emerged that combine static and dynamic techniques to improve testing...", including: Contrast™ and Quotium Technologies

Application security - Security testing for applications 1 Typically introduced into a company through the application security organization, the White Box tools complement the Black Box testing tools in that they give specific visibility into the specific root vulnerabilities within the source code in advance of the source code being deployed

Application security - Security testing for applications 1 Therefore application security has begun to manifest more advanced anti-fraud and heuristic detection systems in the back- office, rather than within the client-side or Web server code.

Application security - Security standards and regulations 1 ISO/IEC :2011 Information technology — Security techniques — Application security -- Part 1: Overview and concepts

Information security audit - Application security 1 Application Security centers around three main functions:

Web Application Security 1 Web application security' is a branch of Information Security that deals specifically with security of websites, web applications and web services.

Web Application Security 1 At a high level, Web application security draws on the principles of application security but applies them specifically to Internet and World Wide Web|Web systems. Typically web applications are developed using programming languages such as PHP, Java EE, Java (programming language)|Java, Python (programming language)|Python, Ruby (programming language)|Ruby, ASP.NET, C Sharp (programming language)|C#, VB.NET or Classic Active Server Pages|ASP.

Web Application Security - Security standards 1 OWASP is the emerging standards body for Web application security. In particular they have published the [ p_Ten_Project OWASP Top 10] which describes in detail the major threats against web applications. The Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) has created the Web Hacking Incident Database and also produced open source best practice documents on Web application security.
