The security measures and tools can be applied during each phase i.e. design, development, QA, deployment phase. Let's see how this can be achieved throughout the lifecycle of website or web application: During design and development phases, security standards and tools should be implemented, like vulnerability scanning during and before the development phase. In the productions environments to protect the website or web application, security procedures and system must be implemented to avoid any loss of sensitive data and cyber-attacks. Authentication is important when the website or web app have any sensitive data. Two factor authentications can be implemented. Making use of Firewalls, CAPTCHAs, etc. is one of the best practices to make the website or web app secure. A website or web applications are accessible via internet and runs on web server. There are network connections from insecure networks to your website or web application through the internet.
