  1. 7 STEP CHECKLIST For Web Application Security

  2. 1.Input Validation and Output Encoding Web application security is critical to ensuring the safety and privacy of users and their data. A secure web application must be designed, developed, and maintained with a comprehensive approach that encompasses various aspects of security. Let's check out a 7-step checklist for web application security that covers essential measures to safeguard against common security threats • 2. Authentication and Authorization • 3. Session Management • 4. Error Handling and Logging • 5. Secure Communications • 6. Data Protection • 7. Vulnerability Testing andRemediation

  3. 1. Input Validation and Output Encoding Validate & sanitize user input to prevent injection attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) Use output encoding techniques to ensure that user-generated content is properly displayed in the application without introducing security vulnerabilities.

  4. 2. Authentication and Authorization Implement secure authentication mechanisms, such as password hashing and salting, to protect user credentials. Use role-based access control (RBAC) and other authorization techniques to limit access to sensitive resources within the application.

  5. 3. Session Management Use strong session management techniques: generate strong, unique and unpredictable session IDs, and regenerate session IDs upon login to prevent session hijacking attacks. Implement session timeouts to automatically log users out after a certain period of inactivity.

  6. 4. Error Handling and Logging Implement secure error handling mechanisms that do not reveal sensitive information to attackers. Use logging to monitor the application for security events and to help diagnose and resolve security incidents.

  7. 5. Secure Communications Use secure communication protocols, such as HTTPS, to encrypt traffic between the application and the user's browser. Implement measures to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, such as certificate pinning and strict transport security (HSTS).

  8. 6. Data Protection Use encryption to protect sensitive data, both in transit and at rest. Implement measures to ensure that data is not vulnerable to tampering, such as using message authentication codes (MACs).

  9. 7. Vulnerability Testing and Remediation Conduct regular vulnerability assessments & penetration testing to identify security weaknesses. Develop and implement a plan for remediation of identified vulnerabilities, including patching and updates to software and hardware components.
