Abstract

The World Wide Web (or the proper World-Wide Web; abbreviated as WWW or W3, and commonly known as the Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them via hyperlinks. Many formal standards and other technical specifications and software define the operation of different aspects of the World Wide Web, the Internet, and computer information exchange. Many of the documents are the work of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), headed by Berners-Lee, but some are produced by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other organizations. Usually, when web standards are discussed, the following publications are seen as foundational: Recommendations for markup languages, especially HTML and XHTML, from the W3C. These define the structure and interpretation of hypertext documents. Recommendations for stylesheets, especially CSS, from the W3C. Standards for ECMAScript (usually in the form of JavaScript), from Ecma International. Recommendations for the Document Object Model, from W3C. Security threats to web sites and web applications (webapps) come in many forms. Data centres and other assets used for hosting web sites and their associated systems need to be protected from all types of threat. Threats should be identified using application threat modelling and then evaluated with a vulnerability assessment. Vulnerabilities can be removed or reduced and countermeasures put in place to mitigate the effects of an incident should the threat be realized. Some of them are security policies, using technology, content filtering.
