Secure your Company from Business logic Vulnerabilities.

A new era for entrepreneurs and startups has begun and growing rapidly with huge profits, with the assistance of investors and funding companies and a helping hand from the government too. Which resulted in many successful and profitable startups.Though these startups have strong business models and are operationally very efficient, the technical glitches may affect the main objective of whole business.

In spite of receiving huge funding from venture capitalists there are also a considerable number of companies which have closed down their operations at an early stage because of the vulnerabilities.

Security analysts believe that web applications were and are exploited by business logic flaws. Unfortunately many companies do not even know about them until they are affected.

It’s no wonder that many companies look down upon these flaws unless and until their profits are affected. ex: #PepperTap #AskMe

Business logic vulnerabilities are the weakness in an application that result from a broken or missing security control. These flaws are unique to each custom application, potentially damaging and are very difficult to test.Unlike other flaws these business logic vulnerabilities cannot be scanned automatically, and require manual intervention. To hack the application attackers exploit business logic by deductive reasoning and ultimately exploit the application .In a web application, the business logic is the intended behavior and the functionality that governs the core of what the app does.
