The document summarizes top cybersecurity facts and trends for 2018. It notes that cybercrime costs are projected to reach $6 trillion annually by 2021 and cybersecurity spending is expected to exceed $1 trillion from 2017 to 2021. It also discusses the growing shortage of cybersecurity professionals, with over 3.5 million unfilled jobs predicted by 2021. The document provides an overview of recent malware trends, ransomware attacks in 2017, and projections that hardware vulnerabilities will be a major focus in 2018.

11. A1 INJECTION (Since 1998)
INJECTION FLAWS, SUCH AS SQL, OS, AND
LDAP INJECTION OCCUR WHEN UNTRUSTED
DATA IS SENT TO AN INTERPRETER AS PART OF
A COMMAND OR QUERY. THE ATTACKER’S
HOSTILE DATA CAN TRICK THE INTERPRETER
INTO EXECUTING UNINTENDED COMMANDS
OR ACCESSING DATA WITHOUT PROPER
AUTHORIZATION.

13. PREVENT INJECTION
How Do I Prevent Injection? Preventing injection requires keeping data separate from commands and queries.
• The preferred option is to use a safe API which avoids the use of the interpreter entirely or provides a parameterized interface,
or migrate to use ORMs or Entity Framework. NB: When parameterized, stored procedures can still introduce SQL injection if
PL/SQL or T-SQL concatenates queries and data, or executes hostile data with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE or exec().
• Positive or "white list" input validation, but this is not a complete defense as many applications require special characters, such
as text areas or APIs for mobile applications
• For any residual dynamic queries, escape special characters using the specific escape syntax for that interpreter. OWASP's
Java Encoder and similar libraries provide such escaping routines. NB: SQL structure such as table names, column names,
and so on cannot be escaped, and thus user-supplied structure names are dangerous. This is a common issue in report writing
software.
• Use LIMIT and other SQL controls within queries to prevent mass disclosure of records in case of SQL injection.
