Security Risk Assessment and Management in Web Applications

Security risk assessment and security risk management have become vital tasks for security officers and IT managers. Corporations face increased levels of risk almost daily, from software vulnerabilities hidden in their technology systems to hackers and cyber crooks trying to steal proprietary corporate intellectual property, including sensitive customer information. An ever-growing list of government regulations aimed to secure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of many types of financial and health-related information also is increasing IT risks and making a comprehensive security risk assessment a modern-day corporate necessity.
