About this episode
Websites are the primary avenue used by hackers to enter the organization’s network. Due to the rapidly evolving technology, most organizations are developing websites or web apps quickly without emphasizing maintaining secure coding, which results in security holes and significant vulnerabilities in the code. Therefore, organizations of all sizes must use website security audit tools, also known as WebSec audit tools, to protect their websites or applications from hackers. These tools help a business quickly identify its website weaknesses and lessen the need for time-consuming human audits. These tools also cover the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities, which have been identified and exploited most frequently in recent years. Both paid and unpaid tools and services are available for online website security scanning. Before knowing about the tools, you must first have a basic understanding of website security audits.
What is a Website Security Audit?
A website security audit involves examining your website and server for any current or potential vulnerabilities that hackers might use against you. It checks the security of a website core and all of your files, plugins, extensions, themes, server settings, SSL connection, etc. Web security audits also include static and dynamic code analysis, penetration testing, business logic error testing, and configuration testing.
