    PHASE I - POTENTIAL WEAKNESSES 2 In the current world of internet, web applications, networks, firewalls, wireless networks, etc. are all prone to security threats. Any network connected to web server is unfortunately unsecure. Some security vulnerabilities include design weaknesses which can be easily identified by hackers ( Kamara, Fahmy, Schultz, Kerschbaum & Frantzen, 2003). For setting up a secure network in an organization, it is very necessary to define security checks and limit the passage of information by establishing the degree of web security. It is also necessary that these security checks are periodically updated and modified to meet the c hallenges of the latest threats ( Kamara, Fahmy, Schultz, Kerschbaum & Frantzen, 2003). In this scenario, the Quality Web Design is a specialized organization for all types of businesses providing Web contents and Web site. The Company aims at maximizing customer satisfaction and generating revenue through their quality web designing. The company designs most graphically innovative and appealing Web sites. Associated Vulnerabilities On analyzing the scenario of the Quality Web Design and going through the assets of the company, the two potential weaknesses can be seen.
