By now, most of us are familiar with online forms as we need to use them for almost everything we do online. Forms are a central part of the web as data collection has become a multi-billion-dollar industry. Whether an eCommerce website or a simple sign-in to your favorite streaming service, almost every major application requires you to input data in a form to be stored in a database or cloud-based data system. Forms have long been the main feature of websites and web applications. Fortunately, JDR Web has years of experience implementing successful forms to companies large and small.
Most web developers know that forms are a lot more complex than simply providing a place for users to enter some data. Forms have moving parts as they interact with a database, sending new data into the database that has been submitted by a user. This creates opportunities for bad actors to take advantage of security flaws that may exist in the form. If the form has not been developed properly, a bad actor could use an array of different attacks that could damage the database of the application. This can cause damage to systems and cost companies millions of dollars.
