As web applications become more complex and integral to business operations, they also become prime targets for cybercriminals. That's why understanding and testing for the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is crucial. “With each code update, infrastructure change, or new feature addition, potential security gaps can emerge. Continuous vigilance is essential, and that is only possible with regular tests that go beyond the annual pen tests that many companies perform as a box-ticking exercise.” Regular security testing is essential to stay ahead of evolving threats. It's not just about knowing the vulnerabilities but actively testing for them on an ongoing basis. BleepingComputer takes a deep dive into the OWASP Top 10 and advises on how to test your web applications for susceptibility to these security risks.
