Topic Abstract: The web application environment is where applications are hosted on web servers to be accessed by users over the web. This architecture is favored across many organizations these days as it has many technological advantages and introduces ease of use and convenience to the users. In today’s environments, statistics are showing that the majority of attacks are happening on the top layers, specifically on web applications, and in order to address security needs properly we need to understand the vulnerabilities and threats associated with web applications and protect against them.
