Combat security loopholes and vulnerabilities
Security loopholes in web applications open up plenty of opportunities for cyber criminals to cause significant damage. The most explosive situation arises when sensitive data is exposed, such as professional secrets, company expertise, personal data or passwords and banking information. These result in direct financial losses and indirect issues caused by reputational harm. The intruder can also cause loss of reputation by placing detrimental third-party content on company websites. Ultimately, web loopholes are gateways for all malware criminals, who now use the internet as the main route of virus spread.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (SQLi) are the most common and dangerous vulnerabilities of web applications. Unauthorised reading of files and entire directories through directory traversal, incorrect web server settings, errors in AJAX-based web 2.0 apps and Google hacking also open up a wide range of vulnerabilities to hackers. Complex programs can have many more vulnerabilities. Then there are the weaknesses in the web server itself.
A web application security test usually follows these steps:
  • Inspection of web application, test set-up
  • Automated, supervised check without login details
  • Automated, supervised check with login details
  • Manual follow-up check, validation and assessment
  • Preparation of report and presentation of findings
Swiss IT Security Deutschland also investigates the web application’s architecture, design and code for means in which to implement key security features. The relevant knowledge and specific findings can be used in developer workshops for recommended measures, and thus help to reduce and where possible avoid future security risks.
