How to find a resource: Security Audit
Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2006 12:45 pm
Our small company has been building Web sites for 9 years, but only in the past 2 have we started using PHP and MySQL. Most of our sites were static HTML, then ColdFusion. Increasingly, we are using PHP.
I am at best an amateur PHP developer, and while my business partner is an expert programmer, his specialty is multimedia, so Lingo is his area of expertise. I frequently post to this board and receive excellent assistance from the community of developers here. It has occurred to me recently, based on the responses to a couple of my questions, that the code I am creating may well be...er...inadequate.
Especially when it comes to security.
I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for finding reliable, expert assistance, paid, to provide audit services for some of our development projects. Our clients have gotten bigger, and I'm increasingly concerned about the possibility of these larger targets attracting unwanted attention, and my code being well-below standards for protecting our clients from embarassment/catastrophe.
I tried finding a PHP Users Group in Denver (where we're located), but there doesn't seem to be a lot out there.
Thanks for your input.
