Internet users and its usage have grown almost exponentially during last decade. Most of the web applications contain both private(sensitive) and public information in theircorresponding database that brings the security of private information on the forefront of the challenge of this domain. Cyber criminals can attempt to stealor tamperwith private information from these insecure or vulnerable web applications by exploiting. In this paper, we have analyzed different approaches of web application security used in current practices since their development such as secure coding, Web Application firewall, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. In addition, we have also discussed various approachesand repositories which support vulnerability assessment and penetration testing processes.
