Security Standards Perspective to Fortify Web Database Applications from Code Injection Attacks

Abstract

In recent years, web application security has become the primary discussion for security experts, as application attacks are constantly on rise and posing new risks for organizations. Several trends have emerged lately in the attacks launched against Web application. The implementation of International security standard is to minimize the security failures and to mitigate their consequences. The aim of this research paper is to study and analyze the various International Standards like ISO-27002, OWASP, COBIT, PCI/DSS and depict the extent of coverage of countermeasures which focus on security of web applications from the perspective of preventing web applications attacks predominantly from Code injections attacks.
