The danger of website SQL injection.
Among the biggest threats to application security, website SQL injection ranks among the most dangerous risks. In website SQL injections, cyber criminals are able to hack a website by tricking the site into sending unexpected SQL commands to a database. This is often accomplished by entering specific data into a web form field – if the application doesn’t properly clean untrusted data before adding it to an SQL query, attackers can enter their own SQL commands for the database to execute. By getting an application to modify a website SQL query, attackers can control application behavior, alter the data without authorization or access the data for criminal purposes.
While the steps to prevent website SQL injection are fairly easy and straightforward, many companies lack the enterprise data protection protocols and solutions that can help to eradicate website SQL weaknesses.
