Web applications are the backbone of online business operations. However, with the convenience and innovation they bring, web applications also become targets for various security threats. At SafeNet, we understand the dynamic landscape of web app security and the importance of mitigating potential risks. In this blog post, we’ll explore common web app security threats and how SafeNet’s expertise serves as a shield against these digital adversaries.
Common Web App Security Threats:
- SQL Injection (SQLi):
- SQL injection involves injecting malicious SQL code into input fields, leading to unauthorized access to a database.
- SafeNet employs thorough testing to identify and mitigate SQL injection vulnerabilities, ensuring the integrity of your database.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS):
- XSS attacks inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, compromising the integrity of web content.
- SafeNet’s expertise in web app security includes measures to identify and neutralize XSS vulnerabilities, protecting users from malicious scripts.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF):
- CSRF exploits the trust a website has in a user’s browser to perform actions on behalf of the user without their consent.
- SafeNet conducts assessments to detect and mitigate CSRF vulnerabilities, ensuring the integrity of user interactions with web applications.
- Security Misconfigurations:
- Security misconfigurations, such as default settings or unnecessary services, can expose vulnerabilities.
- SafeNet’s thorough analysis includes identifying and rectifying security misconfigurations, fortifying your web applications against potential exploits.
- Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR):
- IDOR occurs when an attacker accesses unauthorized data by manipulating object references.
- SafeNet employs advanced testing methods to identify and address IDOR vulnerabilities, securing sensitive data from unauthorized access.
