I am hosting multiple services, but my application/web security knowledge is lacking. Is there a guide or framework to check for common or risky mistakes? Is there a list of things I should check every application for, or guide on how to harden hosted applications? That is a topic that I am going to tackle in the near future, and would appreciate some tips in advance.
OWASP is arguably the standard for web application assessments. They cover most of the areas and testing guidance. Burp Suite web academy offers labs that cover many web application security issues. For secure coding, you'd need to look for references aligned with your language of choice.
Thank you!
