The increase in the usage of web applications has translated to an increase in the number of security incidents related to them. As of today, around 70% of Web sites have vulnerabilities that could lead to the theft of sensitive personal data such as credit card information and customer lists. Corporate firewalls, extensive use of secure connections and other security infrastructure like Intrusion detection systems are ineffective against web application attacks because web application attacks are launched on port 80 as well as on port 443 which are required to be open. Of late specialized security products are being developed to protect servers and applications against this threat but little or no effort is being put in to protect the user of these applications. These insecure web applications allow hackers not only to steal sensitive user information but also to compromise privileged user accounts. Hence, there is a need for a client-side security solution to protect users on the internet.

Session Safe is browser plug-in to safeguard clients from various web application threats like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF), various session threats like session fixation, ineffective session termination as well as from sensitive information leakage like caching vulnerabilities. Session Safe effectively protects against information leakage.
