Websites that are related to web applications must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide the information to customers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders *Firewalls and SSL can provide no protection in opposition to web application hacking. This is because access to the website has to be made public. *Web applications often have uninterrupted access to backend data such as customer databases and, for this reason, controlling valuable data are more difficult to secure. *Since most web applications are specially made, therefore, it involves a lesser amount of testing than off-the-shelf software. Accordingly, custom applications are more subject to attack.
