Web App Risk Assessment
Web Application Risk Assessment
Web Applications are become the force behind the Internet revolution. E-Commerce, Online Banking, Social Networking and Collaboration have become the buzzwords of the Internet, with a number increasing exponentially. Unfortunately, with the increase in the number of web applications, there has also been an exponential rise in web application attacks. Attackers have taken cognizance of the vulnerabilities that manifest in today’s web applications and perpetrate attacks that can be devastating for a company’s web application, consequently resulting in major losses in revenue and reputation. Web application security is a very real requirement. Security functionality needs to be built into a web application at the outset and security should permeate to all levels of the application development lifecycle. In such cases, Web Application Risk Assessment is a critical requirement.
we45’s unique Web Application Risk Assessment methodology is a structured methodology where security is built into the web application from the incipiency of the application development lifecycle. The methodology draws parallels with Enterprise Risk Assessment and aims at securing the web application through the characterizing the application, threat modeling the various types of threats and their vectors and finally, formulating a detailed set of security requirements which need to be designed and developed into the web application. This process provides invaluable clarity to all the stakeholders involved in architecting and developing a secure and robust web application. This process also provides a comprehensive view of web application threats and their possible attacks against a web application. This process is also designed to take into consideration, requirements for security compliance standards and laws, thereby ensuring that the web application can easily address any compliance requirements as well. we45’s Web Application Risk Assessment process is also extremely beneficial for applications that have already been developed. we45’s Web Application Risk Assessment process can also be coupled with the Web Application Vulnerability Assessment/Penetration Testing and Secure SDLC consulting to provide the optimized security which needs to be part of the mission-critical applications that are developed for your clients and for your organizations.
we45 also provides training programs on Web Application Risk Assessment.
