We do a basic automated
health check, testing to see if the demo apps are installed, checking
that the jserv port isn't open to
remote access etc.
If you need more than a generic
evaluation, then you need a
non-automated -ie human-
service.
Things to look at include:
1) analize what you are protecting -data, brand name,
downstream liability.
2) make sure all input is
validated on the server side.
3) make sure that strings
from the client can't escape
and execute arbitrary SQL/programs
4) make sure any cookies
you use are non-guessable, use
random numbers, and then
index into a server side table
Our view (but we are biased !)
is that you need a regular (low cost)
automated check up, and a one off
(expensive) consultants review.
