The Value of Web Application Security Testing
Rodrigo Orzari de Carvalho, Rational Technical Specialist, IBM Software Group
Abstract
Web applications present significant threat of attacks for organizations. For IT Security Professionals, they also present a significant challenge. To stay ahead of hackers' and protect sensitive data, security teams need to understand how vulnerabilities in applications are first exposed and then exploited by cyber-criminals for profit. The next step is to be able to identify these vulnerabilities and act on them with the necessary code fixes before hackers can exploit the vulnerabilities.
