Why is Application Security Important?

• Recent influx of large-scale data breaches makes application security top priority

• Increased scrutiny from industry standards and government agencies such as:

– National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

– PCI-DSS

What is a web application risk assessment?

• A web application risk assessment is used to determine what types of controls are required to protect an application from threats

• Allows organizations to reduce exposure and maintain acceptable risk tolerance

The Risk Assessment Process

• Evaluates the likelihood and potential damage of identified threats

• Measures the individual risk level of each asset as they relate to Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA)

• Gauges the effectiveness of existing controls to limit your exposure to such risk

• Results:– Help identify which assets are most critical

– Provide a basis for prioritization

– Recommend a course for remediation
