How do you secure your applications ?
5 ways to secure your application
Applications are now at the heart of many activities: online services, e-commerce, internal management… But they are also a prime target for cyberattacks.
At Obsiweb, we understand that your application's security is essential to protect your users, your data, and your reputation.
Here are 5 key actions we implement to secure every application we develop.
1. Safety by design
The first mistake would be to think about security… too late.
At Obsiweb, we integrate security from the very beginning:
- Risk analysis of your data and users,
- Choice of reliable, regularly updated technologies,
- Robust architecture with compartmentalized roles and access.
The benefit for you? A solid application from the ground up, with fewer risks and lower costs related to later fixes.
2. Encrypt sensitive data
Your users' data (passwords, personal information, transactions...) is precious. We protect it with :
- Encryption of communications via HTTPS (SSL/TLS),
- Encryption of stored data,
- RGPD-compliant hosting.
In concrete terms? Even in case of a hacking attempt, the data remains unreadable without the proper keys.
3. Precise access control
It's crucial that each user only has access to what's relevant to them. To achieve this, we implement :
- Fine-tuned role management (user, admin, etc.),
- Modern authentication systems (OAuth, 2FA),
- Protection against attacks: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF...
Why is this key? Limiting access means limiting vulnerabilities.
4. Test and maintain regularly
As an application evolves, so do the threats. We follow up with :
- Regular security tests (pentests, code reviews),
- Frequent updates of tools and libraries,
- Constant monitoring of new vulnerabilities.
Result? A clean and secure application over time.
5. Need customized support?
Securing an application is not that complicated... as long as you do it correctly and at the right time.
At Obsiweb, we make security a priority for every project.
