Security in web application development is an essential factor in maintaining confidentiality of users and protection from vulnerability and cyber attacks. So , it is important to have an up to date knowledge of the best practices on how to enhance best security practices.

Here are some of the factors that can significantly increase web application security.

Validate User Input 

Entry of malicious code into the user input data is one of the major risks. For example: some scammers may send some malicious code to gain access to all the databases of the user’s account. In order to prevent this situation, it is important to first validate all the inputs so that malicious attempts can’t happen.

Encryption

All the crucial information such as credit card information,passwords, bank details and other sensitive data should be encrypted before storing in the database or transmitting over other networks.

Backup of Data 

Although backing up essential information will not reduce the  threats but will help in recovering the data in case of any threat. Most web hosting services offer backing up of data in cloud based storage even some large companies have dedicated secondary data centres in case their main data storage is breached.

Install Firewall

Firewall helps in keeping away malicious requests from intruding into the core infrastructure. It stops risky behaviour before they actually happen. There are several types of firewalls, including network firewalls, host-based firewalls, and web application firewalls (WAFs). WAFs are specifically designed to protect web applications by filtering traffic at the application layer.
