OWASP Top 10 for .NET Developers
“OWASP Top 10 for .NET Developers” is a comprehensive guide for .NET developers looking to improve the security of their applications. Written by experts in the field, this book covers the top 10 security risks as identified by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and provides practical guidance on how to mitigate these risks in .NET applications.
The book begins by introducing the reader to the OWASP Top 10, a list of the most critical web application security risks. It covers each risk in detail, providing an overview of the vulnerability and the potential impact on the application and its users. The book then goes on to provide specific guidance on how to mitigate each risk in .NET applications, including code examples and best practices.
The book covers all the OWASP Top 10 risks such as Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Broken Authentication and Session Management, Insecure Direct Object References, Security Misconfiguration, Sensitive Data Disclosure, and more. The reader will learn about how to prevent these risks by implementing secure coding practices, using built-in security features in the .NET framework, and using third-party security libraries.
The book also covers advanced topics such as secure communication, cryptography, and threat modeling. The reader will learn about how to secure communication between the application and other systems, and how to use encryption to protect sensitive data. Additionally, the book provides guidance on how to use threat modeling to identify potential security risks early in the development process.
Furthermore, the book includes case studies and real-world examples that demonstrate how the concepts and techniques covered in the book can be applied in practice. The reader will learn how to apply the OWASP Top 10 in the context of different types of .NET applications, and how to use the .NET framework and third-party libraries to implement secure coding practices.
“OWASP Top 10 for .NET Developers” is an essential guide for any .NET developer looking to improve the security of their applications. With its clear explanations and practical examples, this book provides a solid foundation for anyone who wants to understand the OWASP Top 10 and how to mitigate these risks in .NET applications. The book is updated to the latest OWASP Top 10 version, and it covers the latest technologies and frameworks such as .NET 5, ASP.NET Core, and more. It is also written with the latest best practices and guidelines in mind.
