An example-driven approach to securing Oracle APEXapplications
As a Rapid Application Development framework, Oracle ApplicationExpress (APEX) allows websites to easily be created based on datawithin an Oracle database. Using only a web browser, you candevelop and deploy professional applications that are both fast andsecure. However, as with any website, there is a security risk andthreat, and securing APEX applications requires some specificknowledge of the framework. Written by well-known securityspecialists Recx, this book shows you the correct ways to implementyour APEX applications to ensure that they are not vulnerable toattacks. Real-world examples of a variety of securityvulnerabilities demonstrate attacks and show the techniques andbest practices for making applications secure.
* Divides coverage into four sections, three of which cover themain classes of threat faced by web applications and the forthcovers an APEX-specific protection mechanism
* Addresses the security issues that can arise, demonstratingsecure application design
* Examines the most common class of vulnerability that allowsattackers to invoke actions on behalf of other users and accesssensitive data
The lead-by-example approach featured in this critical bookteaches you basic "hacker" skills in order to show you how tovalidate and secure your APEX applications.
