CIS 542 Week 7 Assignment

 

Design a Strategy for Securing the Operation of a Web Application
Overview
Your team received an assignment to develop and deliver a new company Web
application for outsourced suppliers to use as they help support your company’s
production resources. The IT director recently returned from an OWASP conference in
India and insists that the app will have strong security. As he walked out the door from
your initial project briefing the IT director said, “I do not want to wait 200 days after an
exploit to hear about it. If something happens, I want to know yesterday.”

Instructions
The project specs require a multi-page design. The app will need to provide an interface
to your company’s supply database for reading and entering data remotely as well the
ability to contact, via the e-mail server, your company supply managers. In an effort to
save money, management decided that the team will use some open source software
library modules.
Fully discuss, in 3–5 pages, the process that your team would follow to create and
deliver that Web application.
1. Provide at least six steps in the SDLC during which security strengthening behaviors will be applied.
2. Explain the specific security relevant actions taken during each step to include the people involved, the
considerations taken, and security assurance methods used.
3. Identify and briefly explain at least three different security testing methods and indicate which methods
analyze the app’s front end, source code, or vulnerabilities while the app is running. Justify when you
would use each method.
4. Explain at least six different vulnerabilities that could potentially affect your app and actions that your
team could take to prevent each.
5. Use at least four quality sources in this assignment.
