Application security is as critical as other levels of security because just as web
presence and development is increasing, web vulnerabilities are also rising.
Application security is important. OWASP is an open source web app security project
which provides best practices and code review steps among other guidelines which
developers, architects and designers can use to develop secure software.

4. ClamAV: The Perfect Antivirus Tool


Host level security offers protection for single devices such as servers PCs and
laptops. ClamAV is the perfect antivirus system to scan data emanating from different
sources. This is an open source antivirus designed for catching malware, viruses and
