Insecure direct object reference. Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) is a type of access control vulnerability in digital security. [1] This can occur when a web application or application programming interface uses an identifier for direct access to an object in an internal database but does not check for access control or authentication.
The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is the approach Microsoft uses to integrate security into DevOps processes (sometimes called a DevSecOps approach). You can use this SDL guidance and documentation to adapt this approach and practices to your organization. The practices described in the SDL approach can be applied to all types ...
Secure coding. Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1] Through the analysis of thousands of reported vulnerabilities ...
Runtime application self-protection (RASP) is a security technology that uses runtime instrumentation to detect and block computer attacks by taking advantage of information from inside the running software. [1][2] The technology differs from perimeter-based protections such as firewalls, that can only detect and block attacks by using network ...
In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker). [1][2] SQL injection must exploit a security vulnerability in an application's software, for example, when user ...
Data-centric security. Data-centric security is an approach to security that emphasizes the dependability of the data itself rather than the security of networks, servers, or applications. Data-centric security is evolving rapidly as enterprises increasingly rely on digital information to run their business and big data projects become mainstream.
Obfuscation (software) In software development, obfuscation is the act of creating source or machine code that is difficult for humans or computers to understand. Like obfuscation in natural language, it may use needlessly roundabout expressions to compose statements. Programmers may deliberately obfuscate code to conceal its purpose (security ...
Intrusion detection system. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. [1] Any intrusion activity or violation is typically either reported to an administrator or collected centrally using a security information and event management ...
