Description
Summary:this article refers generally to current web application risks that are causing public concern, and piquing the interest of many scientists and organizations, as a result of an increase in attacks. The primary concern of many governments, organizations and companies is data loss and theft. Thus, these organizations are seeking to insure their web applications against vulnerabilities. Revealing that awareness of the vulnerabilities of web applications leads to recognition of the need for improvements. The three main facets of web security are: confidentiality, integrity and safety of content, and continuity. This paper identifies and discusses ten web application vulnerabilities, detailing the opinions of researchers and OWASP regarding risk assessment and protection. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
