IT research and analysis service InformationWeek Analytics, US, has announced the release of its latest research report - Hardening Next-Gen Web Applications. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges around securing dynamic applications without stifling the very attributes that make them so popular with end users and customers. The report author, Adam Ely, is director of security for TiVo.
The 382 respondents to this survey were screened to ensure they hold responsibility for the development, deployment or ongoing security of Web 2.0 applications. The report states that 61 percent of respondents have a standard set of libraries in place to secure common functions, such as database calls and input validation. Despite the promise of tokenisation to secure data, 50 percent say they have no plans for use. Further, the report notes that 64 percent see privacy breaches as the top threats linked to their organisations' Web 2.0 applications.
InformationWeek Analytics is a subscription-based service, offering peer-based technology research. Its site currently houses more than 900 reports and briefs, and includes a dedicated area where technology professionals can access complete issues of InformationWeek Magazine. More than one hundred new reports are slated for release in 2010.
