Question
You are working for an organisation that is using a very old web-based application
that was developed in-house and is only used by members of the organisation. The
leader of the web development team has indicated that the application needs to be
urgently redeveloped as it is dependent upon outdated frameworks that have
recently been found to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, however the
organisation is currently short on funding. One of the security team has suggested
using a web application firewall to prevent common attacks instead.
(a) Explain the additional security that would be provided by the web application
firewall.
(b) Discuss any alternative or complimentary technologies that would assist in
securing the application.
