Product Description
Improving Web Application Security - Threats and Countermeasures - reference book
This guide helps you design, build, and configure hack-resilient Web applications. These are applications that reduce the likelihood of successful attacks and mitigate the extent of damage should an attack occur. This guide uses a three-layered approach: securing the network, securing the host, and securing the application. This guide addresses security across the three physical tiers: Web server, remote application server and database server. At each tier, security is addressed at the network layer, the host layer, and the application layer. The guide is organized into various security configuration categories that apply to the host and network, and the application vulnerability categories.
