Web application vulnerabilities are a common point of intrusion for cyber criminals. As cybersecurity threats proliferate and attacks escalate, and as applications play an increasingly critical role in business, organizations urgently need to focus on web application security to protect their customers, their interests, and their assets.
Although awareness of the need for web application security is increasing, security levels are nowhere near enough: according to the 2015 Trustwave Global Security Report, 98% of tested web applications were vulnerable to attack.
SMEs in particular should be very concerned about web application security: many use common, off-the-shelf applications and plugins—such as Internet Explorer, Java, Silverlight, and Adobe Reader and Flash Player—which often contain exploitable vulnerabilities.
Application Security in the ISO 27001:2013 Environment explains how organizations can implement and maintain effective security practices to protect their web applications—and the servers on which they reside—as part of a wider information security management system by following the guidance set out in the international standard for information security management, ISO 27001.
The book describes the methods used by criminal hackers to attack organizations via their web applications and provides a detailed explanation of how you can combat such attacks by employing the guidance and controls set out in ISO 27001.

The activities of the cyber criminal are both deliberate and hostile, and they can be compared to military operations.
Many people in business understand that the insights from the classics of military strategy are as relevant to modern commerce as they are to war.
It is clear that organizations need to develop a view of cybersecurity that goes beyond technology: all staff in the organization have a role to play, and it is the senior managers who must ensure, like generals marshaling their forces, that all staff know the cybersecurity policies that explain what to do when under attack.
With this in mind, the authors have drawn on the work of Clausewitz and Sun Tzu and applied it to the understanding of information security that they have built up through their extensive experience in the field. The result is expert guidance on information security, underpinned by a profound understanding of human conflict.
Building on the success of the first edition, this new edition covers the most recent developments in the threat landscape and the best-practice advice available in the latest version of ISO 27001:2103.
