Web Application Security
Web application security is a branch of information security that deals specifically with security of websites, web applications and web services. At a high level, web application security draws on the principles of application security but applies them specifically to internet and web systems.

The majority of web application attacks occur through cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attacks[2] which typically are made possible by flawed coding and failure to sanitize application inputs and outputs. These attacks are always ranked on top 25 most dangerous programming errors
