Throughout this dissertation, we have discussed and analyzed the state
44
of web security today. I have proposed new approaches that aim to
5-
fight vulnerabilities.
5+
find vulnerabilities before a malicious attacker has the chance. It is
6+
in this vein of preemptively finding vulnerabilities that I believe
7+
will have the greatest return-on-investment. By finding
8+
vulnerabilities early on in the development process, the
9+
vulnerabilities will be easier and cheaper to fix.
10+
11+
In this spirit, for moving forward I see the web security community
12+
moving to approaches that create web applications that are secure by
13+
construction. Therefore, vulnerabilities can be prevented, just by
14+
designing an application in a certain way, or perhaps by creating a
15+
new language or framework that is easy to statically analyze. As shown
16+
throughout this dissertation, web application vulnerabilities are
17+
incredibly prevalent, and show no signs of stopping. In order to
18+
counteract this trend, we require novel ideas: new ways of designing
19+
applications, new tools to automatically find security
20+
vulnerabilities, or new approaches to web applications. The web is too
21+
important to wait---we must take responsibly for securing this popular
22+
platform.
