Are Your Web Apps Secure?
Common web application security gaps and the controls that close them. Walked through with real-world examples and a structured assessment approach.
Where attackers actually go.
Web applications remain a primary path for initial access in enterprise breaches. The OWASP Top 10 is well-known and yet consistently the source of real-world incidents — because knowing the categories isn’t the same as having the controls.
What most security programs miss.
Authentication and session management gaps. Authorization checks done at the UI rather than the API. Input validation that catches obvious attacks and misses the subtle ones. Logging that’s either absent or so noisy it’s useless. Third-party dependencies that haven’t been audited since they were added.
Controls that hold up in production.
Authenticated penetration testing on a regular cadence. SAST and DAST integrated into the build pipeline. Continuous dependency scanning. WAF rules tuned to the application, not just default policies. Logging instrumented for both attack detection and forensic investigation. Application security baked into the development lifecycle, not added at the end.
Application security as part of the program.
Digital Hands’ Security Posture Assessment includes application and supply-chain posture review. MDR brings detection coverage for the application layer alongside network, endpoint, and identity.
