![Jese Leos](https://aroadtome.com/author/avery-simmons.jpg)
Java is one of the most popular programming languages for developing web applications. As a result, Java web apps are a prime target for attackers. In fact, the OWASP Top 10, a list of the most critical web application security risks, includes several threats that specifically target Java applications.
The consequences of a successful web app attack can be severe. Attackers can steal sensitive data, such as customer information or credit card numbers. They can also disrupt the availability of your application, making it unusable for your customers.
The OWASP Top 10 includes the following security threats that are particularly relevant to Java web apps:

- Injection attacks: Attackers inject malicious code into your application, which can then be executed to compromise your system.
- Cross-site scripting (XSS): Attackers embed malicious JavaScript code in your web pages, which can then be executed when a user visits the page.
- SQL injection: Attackers inject malicious SQL code into your application, which can then be used to steal data or disrupt your database.
- CSRF: Attackers trick users into submitting malicious requests to your application, which can then be used to compromise the user's account.
There are a number of best practices that you can follow to secure your Java web apps from these threats. These include:
- Use secure coding practices: Follow secure coding practices to avoid introducing vulnerabilities into your code.
- Validate input: Validate all input from users to prevent malicious code from being executed.
- Use encryption: Encrypt sensitive data to protect it from unauthorized access.
- Implement authentication and authorization: Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms to control access to your application.
- Implement security headers: Implement security headers to protect your application from common attacks.
