In the recent past, websites increased radically. Due to the wide uses and number of websites, today a huge amount of data stored into the systems and thus their security also becomes an important concerned. Thus, the concept of Web Security or Web Application Security has emerged. Today it is an important concern of Information Technology Security. Web Security is the affairs of security related to the websites, web services and web based applications as a whole. This paper is a kind of review and trend analysis of website and web security. Paper described the basics of web security, the reasons/ threats including various defending mechanism as well. Paper highlighted the challenges and issues as well in a simple context
