IT Security is a field of computer science concerned with the control of risks related to computer use. The means traditionally taken to realize this objective is to attempt to create a secure computing platform, designed so that agents (users or programs) can only perform actions that have been allowed. This involves specifying and implementing a security policy. The actions in question can be reduced to operations of access, modification and deletion.

A survey of 185 IT professionals finds that, although computer and data security are high priorities, they are surprisingly unprepared to prevent data breaches and computer theft. 1 out of 4 organizations surveyed had a data breach in the past year. Preventative measures are found to be consistently undermined, with only 1 in 100 employees consistently following security policy. This white paper explores the survey findings.

The PCI DSS is demonstrably becoming a de facto standard of due care for any organization responsible for the privacy and integrity of data. The increased focus on application security in the latest revisions of the PCI DSS can be traced directly to many of the recent high profile breaches, where insecure applications have proved to be the point of access for hackers, and the source of data loss.

It doesn’t take a degree in accounting to understand that the ability to increase server and storage capacity without having to invest a dime in additional hardware translates into huge cost savings. Savings not only in terms of hardware costs, but also in the power consumption, heat dissipation and management costs associated with deploying additional hardware.

Organizations should implement source code analysis tools as part of the software development life cycle to find and fix the highest number of security issues early in the project. This will result in a higher-quality product and lower overall application life cycle costs. Countless studies and analyst recommendations suggest the value of improving software security during the development life cycle (SDLC) rather than trying to address security vulnerabilities in software discovered after widespread adoption and deployment.

During the 80s, war dialing and phone phreaking were the attacks that garnered all the headlines. In the 90s it was all about web defacement and the ubiquitous email virus. The last seven years have given rise to identity data theft and privacy concerns. For the past twenty years, organizations have focused on protecting the network; but in the last ten years it has become clear that the core threat is not, nor really ever was, access to the network.

Web 2.0 applications can be more vulnerable to exploitation by hackers than their predecessors. When Web 2.0 applications push functionality and code to users, they provide hackers with information that can be used for formulating attacks. This white paper defines some of the common technological components of Web 2.0 applications and discusses ways of securing them against exploitation.
