 We are still at a stage where many large enterprise organizations do not yet fullyunderstand how vulnerable they may be to web hacking attempts, noted Nick Galea,CEO of Acunetix.  As they learn more about web attacks, they tend to recognizewhatÂ's at risk and they start taking the necessary precautions.Â
 In addition to increasing their understanding of web vulnerabilities, the mostimportant thing enterprises can do to secure their data is to use web sitevulnerability scanning software, and to scan applications every time there is a codechange. adds Galea.
