Driving factors are customer service, budgets, time to market and reliability. By allowing access from the internet to data and transactions, security becomes a major challenge. Research, for example studies from Gartner, clearly show that most attacks meanwhile address the application layer. Protection on the network layer alone (i.e. firewalls) doesn't help in those situations. Vulnerabilities of web applications can lead to access to sensitive data, application outages or even, sometimes unrecognized, to manipulation of sensitive data. Clearly besides loss of time and money, a loss of customer satisfaction, possible brand erosion or compensation payments are in many cases the more dramatic consequences of those application vulnerabilities. What are the concepts to avoid that? As a first step for existing applications pen-testing (often also called vulnerabilty scans) will give you a good overview about possible weaknesses. Normally those tests use a combination of tool based scans and manual investigation of the source code of your application. As a long term approach it's best practice to improve application security by making it a key factor during the whole lifecycle of an application, including the phases of concept work and specification.
