Application security
1 Application security encompasses measures taken throughout the
application's life-cycle to prevent exceptions in the security policy of
an application or the underlying system (vulnerabilities) through flaws
in the design, development, deployment, upgrade, or
maintenance of the application.

Application security
1 Applications only control the use of resources granted to them, and not
which resources are granted to them. They, in turn, determine the use of
these resources by users of the application through application
security.

Application security
1 Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) updates
on the latest threats which impair web based applications. This aids developers, security testers and
architects to focus on better design and mitigation strategy. OWASP Top 10 has become an industrial norm in
assessing Web Applications.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-application-security-toolkit.html
Application security - Methodology
1 According to the patterns & practices Improving Web Application Security book, a principle-based approach for
application security includes:

Application security - Mobile application security
1 Application security is provided in some form on most open OS mobile
devices (Symbian OS, Microsoft, BREW, etc.)

1 There are several strategies to enhance Mobile Application security including

Application security - Security testing for applications
1 Tools for Black Box Testing include IBM Rational AppScan, HP Application Security Center suite of applications
(through the acquisition of SPI Dynamics), N-Stalker Web
Application Security Scanner (original developers of N-Stealth back in 2000), Nikto (open source), and
NTObjectives.

Application security - Security testing for applications
1 According to Gartner Research, "...next-generation modern Web and
Mobile Applications requires a combination of SAST and DAST techniques, and new interactive
application security testing (IAST) approaches have emerged that
combine static and dynamic techniques to improve testing...",
including: Contrast™ and Quotium Technologies

Application security - Security testing for applications
1 Typically introduced into a company through the application security organization, the White Box tools complement the Black Box testing
tools in that they give specific visibility into the specific root
vulnerabilities within the source code in advance of the source code being
deployed

Application security - Security testing for applications
1 Therefore application security has begun to manifest more advanced anti-fraud and heuristic detection systems in the back-office, rather than within the client-side or Web
server code.

Application security - Security standards and regulations

1 Application Security centers around
three main functions:

Web Application Security
1 Web application security' is a branch of Information Security that deals specifically with security of
websites, web applications and web services.

Web Application Security
1 At a high level, Web application security draws on the principles of application security but applies them specifically to Internet and World Wide Web|Web systems. Typically web
applications are developed using programming languages such as PHP, Java EE,
Java (programming language)|Java, Python (programming language)|Python, Ruby
(programming language)|Ruby, ASP.NET, C Sharp (programming language)|C#, VB.NET or
Classic Active Server Pages|ASP.

Web Application Security - Security standards
1 OWASP is the emerging standards body for Web application security. In particular they
have published the [ http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Top_Ten_Project OWASP Top 10] which describes
in detail the major threats against web applications. The Web Application Security Consortium (WASC) has created the Web
Hacking Incident Database and also produced open source best practice
documents on Web application security.
