The web application stack a growing threat vector
Hackers are increasingly moving beyond exploiting flaws that come from mistakes in the software/hardware development process. They are now also targeting areas of the web application stack: namely, protocols and platforms. In this book, Lori MacVittie explains the importance of recognising that application security is really a stack and how this ensures that a growing threat is not ignored.
