Safeguarding Against the Top 3 Security Threats
The Open Worldwide Application Security Project, or OWASP, is a non-profit foundation dedicated to improving the security of software. Since new threats are emerging all the time, they keep a list called the OWASP Top 10, which is meant to keep software developers up to date regarding the latest security threats and how to prevent them. The Top 10 list includes the following security threats:
- Broken Access Control
- Cryptographic Failures
- Injection
- Insecure Design
- Security Misconfiguration
- Vulnerable and Outdated Components
- Identification and Authentication Failures
- Software and Data Integrity Failures
- Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
- Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
In this section, we’ll cover the top three threats and how to safeguard your ASP.NET Core application from these threats – that is, Broken Access Control, Cryptographic Failures, and Injection.
