Compromises in the application layer are now responsible for 40% of breaches. Two years ago that was 24%. Obviously, time to pay attention to application security. OWASP will give you a running start with their Top 10.
Why use OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities?
Imagine if a dozen of the top cybersecurity experts in the world reviewed your software for security problems. Since application security is generally not well covered in university, college, and bootcamp software courses, it’s likely they would probably find a lot of problems!
Of course, hiring even 1 security expert to review your work is out of reach for a lot of software teams – let alone 12 experts. But you can do the next best thing, you can check out the OWASP Top Ten 2021: https://owasp.org/Top10/
What is the OWASP Top 10 list?
The OWASP Top 10 is an important awareness document for web developers and web application security professionals. It represents a broad industrial consensus from cyber security experts about the most critical security risks to web applications.
