Secure coding with the OWASP Top 10

1Introduction

OWASP periodically publishes the ten top web risks based on real data, referenced by many standards.

2Discussion

In the 2021 edition Broken Access Control ranks first, followed by cryptographic failures, injection, insecure design and misconfiguration.

Basics: server-side authorisation on every request, parameterised queries, input validation, encryption in transit and at rest, updated libraries.

3Conclusion

Build security in from design: threat modelling, developer training and automated security tests in the pipeline.
