METHOD FOR REALTIME WEB APPLICATION SECURITY AUDIT USING CLOUD COMPUTING

摘要

With the exponential growth of the web and the proliferation of websites, the accompanying risks from hackers and unsocial elements who can hack into a website and insert malicious codes or put objectionable content has been a big security risk. Also with millions of transactions taking place on the web, a website cannot afford any kind of downtime as also loss of global reputation. A website audit or vulnerability assessment which can be carried out on a real time basis with a single click without installation of any special software or hardware addresses the above mentioned issue. The said invention comprises a method for auditing of a website on a real time basis providing a detailed report on vulnerability of the website including penetration by a 3 rd party using a cloud computing device. The same is achieved at the click of a button without installing any special hardware or software.
