Why the web app security problem exists ?

Complexity – did you wrote a code for an app and saw how many items needed to be addressed before even talking about security ?

Non standard – write code is based on the developer knowledge and experience. There are many ways to implement even a simple concept like salt password.  There are no standards or guide lines that every web developer is committed to.

3rd party – developers must rely on 3rd part library servers and have no way to verify that they are all secure.

Design - Web app are design to server client with various content and the goal is to sell or market them  self or just share information. It means that security comes as a secondary goal at the best case and that make total sense.

Easy – due to the comply of web apps it is not that difficult to find holes or take advantage of innocent users and trick them to install a male ware.

Heard to deal with - Organizations are struggling to secure all their customer information and try to stay above water. The reason is they have so many security concerns, product, procedure, logs, tasks, and much more which makes it almost un manageable.  


Genesis – web application security is still not a fully solid process and some of the basics are still not decided and adopted as best practices within the industry
