What are some best practices for securing 3rd party website applications? e.g. Besides using strong passwords, ensuring you have the latest version.

It would be quite simple to run a couple of vulnerability scanners against these software. You could also check online vulnerability databases (and google) for known vulnerabilities of your web applications. If you want to be sure, you would need to get someone to evaluate the actual code, but that will take time and money, though. Also, taking a look at the history of these applications in terms of security will likely give you an idea of the overall security and what to expect in the future.Benjamin wrote:What are some best practices for securing 3rd party website applications?
