Web App Security Tips of 2015

Web applications are among the most attached online assets in the world. According to an article in DarkReading, 69% of web apps scanned by HP in 2014 had at least one SQL injection error, with 42% containing a cross-site scripting vulnerability. That’s insane! In a nutshell, that means that a good chunk of the world’s websites, big or small, are vulnerable to threat by any and all enterprising hacker with the right tools and determination.

For web app owners out there, security is therefore an utmost concern. This is especiallly true now that most web apps are being used as platforms for multiple uses such as social media, entertainment and most especially online gaming, check for vipclubcasino for its promising security.

Keep Software Up To Date

Whether your website is WordPress-powered or a full-blown web application platform, it is very important that every piece of software you run is updated. CMS provides like WordPress and Joomla and framework organizations such as Code Igniter and Bootstrap have dedicated teams that work to patch any and all system vulnerabilities identified, so make sure you make the most out of their effort.

Build A Layer Of Security

Nowadays, Web Application Firewalls have evolved from being only available as hardware appliances to being security-as-a-service applications, making them very affordable and attainable in the process. Just as anyone would lock their house doors when leaving, so should you when exposing your beloved web app to the world.

Use HTTPS

HTTPS or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure communications protocol that is used to transfer sensitive information between a website and a web server. Taking advantage of the protocol, which uses an additional Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption layer, basically makes all incoming and outgoing data extra secure from any hacking attempt.

Use Strong-er Passwords

This one seems a bit obvious, but then again, a lot of us are very guilty of using a comfortable set of passwords in most of the applications we use. Brute force attacks that try guessing username-password combos have multiplied at alarming rates over the last couple of years with thousands of attacks being detected on a daily basis across the web. An easy fix: ensure your password is a combination of alphanumeric characters, symbols, upper and lower case characters and is at least 12 characters long.
