Abstract

With the rapid evolution of technology, almost every business is now online connecting them to the widest and narrow corners of the world. Therefore, instead of physical security, their online security is a pivotal concern the business which all depends on the web applications security. Web application attacks and their risks have become normal since past many years, and the security of web applications has received increased attentions at present. Many attacks work on real time and mostly prevention mechanisms focus on prevention and detection of these attacks on the web applications. This research focuses on giving attention to the top 10 threats that organizations need to know and to ensure the web applications are protected from these risks and attacks.
