What single web app security tool (or a minimum set of tools) would you recommend for overall web app protection (from the most critical security risks covered by these Top 10)?
We are due to release the OWASP Top 10 2021 on September 24, 2021. We will be transitioning to GitHub from our private work area soon. There will be three new categories, and some surprising coalescing for many of you who have been using the OWASP Top 10 since 2003. This means it is changing, and we've made an impact in our previous releases.
Believe no single tool will address all OWASP Top 10 issues. One will need a combination of tools and approaches as was also mentioned in the recent OWASP anniversary webinars.
A01-2021: Broken Access Control has moved to number 1 on the list this year compared to number 5 in 2017.
There are 3 new entries - Insecure design being at number 4. This is to me is a great addition and something which is complex to assess and fix easily.
I’m not sure the top 10 is changing this year but if it is it will be to squeeze more stuff in ;-).
To effectively detect these in a web app you need a status analyzer with deep data flow analysis. I joined ShiftLeft because I felt they had the best tool to change the way we think about SAST scans and it can do reachability analysis for OSS components to better understand the risk associated with vulnerable libraries and frameworks.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a specialized security tool designed to protect web applications by monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It plays a crucial role in safeguarding against threats and vulnerabilities.WAFs help defend web applications from several common threats by analyzing requests to prevent malicious data from passing through. These solutions work by effectively blocking common attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site...
