Overview: Organizations worldwide are embracing and leveraging Web 2.0 for improved products, services, and overall business strategies. The same Web 2.0 characteristics that enable creativity, productivity and collaboration also make the Web 2.0 ecosystem prone to successful attacks and theft. The Web 2.0 global ecosystem increases the vulnerability of distributed software and exposes it to piracy and abuse, especially in places known for intellectual property neglect. User-friendly open source development technologies (Dojo, Freetype, script.ac.clous) enable masses of individuals to become developers, while not necessarily ensuring that securing the application development process stays a core focus. This can lead to an explosion of defenseless applications that also serve as intermediaries for attacks on enterprises. With communal software ownership, hackers have easy and free access to attack and theft enablers.
