RE: protecting web apps for governaments

There is no such thing as too much protection. If the company feels comfortable with this and thus requests nothing 
less, then it is worth having. From a technical standpoint, it may be overkill but it may be a requirement depending on 
audits done on the company and/or web apps.

Subject: protecting web apps for governaments

HI all

Im doing a consulting for one of the governaments in europe.

the idea is to create a most secure segment in which we will locate all the web apps of the gov and to protect them 
from any attack. we will buy equipment like SIEM, HIDS IPS, Firewalls and WAF and prevention of DDOS attacks.
but additionaly to this I am working on policies to implement heardening of operation system of those servers.
I am considering also politices of code review (in this process algo input validation), and twice a year pentest to all 
the 200 web sites.
I am wondering if also doing code review for every change in the those web apps + pentest 2 time a year + WAF.

ISNT THAT TO MUCH FOR PROTECTING THE WEB SERVERS??

thanks a lot!

marco
