Application Security for Every Scale
my.defence
Cloud computing was not designed for security, although organizations such as Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are making great strides in helping the industry solve the myriad security problems confronting cloud computing. The benchmark guidelines established by the CSA in the document, Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing, is a great first step. This white paper is intended to pick up where the CSA guide left off in terms of defining what a distributed web application firewall (dWAF) should look like in order to meet the standards set within the CSA document.

In a recent chat about Web app security (WebAppSec) with Georg Hess, prominent OWASP member and CEO of art of defense, a Regensburg, Germany-based application security provider, some interesting thoughts were raised. Hess discussed the need for a new role that would blend development, IT and networking experience to ensure better WebAppSec and bridge the gap in communication across the departments.
