Web applications are unprotected, and everyone can get to it. All you need is an internet connection. That includes hackers too! But developers often ignore web application security and teams typically spend most of the time on the code – and little to no time making sure the web apps are reliable. According to Forrester, application vulnerabilities remain the main reason for the success of attacks, representing 42% of attacks by exploiting a software vulnerability and 35% came via a web app. Common website app threats There isn’t just one way that websites get attacked; some common web app threats are: SQL Injections SQL injection attacks are done by infusing malicious code in an exposed SQL query. They count on an attacker inserting a request within the message sent by the website to the database. Malware Malware – the biggest threat to your website, is used to access private data or server resources. Malware can be classified into distinct bands since they work to achieve separate goals- spyware, viruses, ransomware, worms, and trojans. Phishing Scam Phishing scam attacks affect directly with email marketing efforts. These types of threats are planned to look like emails that are from valid sources, to obtain sensitive data. Brute Force Then there’s also brute force attacks, where hackers attempt to guess passwords and forcefully gain access to the web application owner’s details. But how do you secure web apps against any malicious intent? Here are some of the tips. Source code encryption Malware often taps bugs and vulnerabilities within the design and source code of the application. This malicious code infects 12M+ apps, and the most common way attackers do it is by repackaging popular apps into "rogue apps" and publishing the same. That is why you need to test code for vulnerabilities or run source code scanning. Secure...
