It’s only a matter of time before an unscrupulous would-be intruder decides to attack your organization’s Web site.

Fortunately, this unique book describes a set of security tests that you can perform to ensure your Web site is hack-resistant. Web testing expert Steven Splaine offers a straightforward, easy-to-follow approach to security testing that can be used to check your Web site’s vulnerabilities. Through examples and dozens of testing checklists, you’ll learn how to develop and document a test plan to test the security of a Web site and conduct a risk analysis to help determine which tests should be given the highest priority.

Following a straightforward, accessible approach, this book will take you step-by-step through the process of testing the security of your Web sites and applications. Whether you’re a software tester, system administrator, developer, manager, Web master, or security engineer, you’ll find valuable information on how to use testing as a security measure. In this informative book, Steven Splaine covers:

  • Planning the security testing effort: strategies, teams, and tools
  • How to define the scope of the project
  • Testing network security and system software configurations
