By surveys and analysis of over 200,000 organizations, OWASP published the report, “Top 10 Web Application Security Risks” approximately every three years, which has become a crucial reference for global enterprises in their web application security efforts. However, a security research team from Kaspersky recently found that OWASP’s rankings differ significantly from the conclusions reached through practical black-box, gray-box, and white-box application risk assessment methods. Organizations should more flexibly evaluate their web application security posture based on the potential impact and exploitability of threats. In this assessment, Kaspersky’s security…
