It's only for maybe one to two years that web application security is recognized as an own relevant issues that is a major challenge for most sites out there in the internet.

Gartner research pinpoints that today 75% of attacks on web applications address the application layer (not the network layer where most companies have proven protection in place nowadays) whereas only roughly 10% of the budgets are spent for application level security. Even worse Gartner assumes that 2/3 of all web applications are vulnerable for attacks on the application level.



To improve web application security, security should be seen as a key issue during application design and application development. Besides general aspects, platform specific issues for example for J2EE or PHP architectures must be considered.
