Abstract
In recent years, Higher Education Institutions through their Systems departments have strengthened security for the development of applications on web environment, because of their vulnerability to possible computer attacks. This research proposes a security strategy to reduce the risk presented by the web applications developed in the systems department of the Simón Bolívar University, in San José de Cúcuta, Colombia, based on a diagnosis of the current state of its security policy compared to other institutions of the department of Norte de Santander, the analysis of current regulations and the state of the art of security in web applications, as an object of study. This strategy of safe web software development arises in order to establish the security parameters that should be applied by the web software developers of the Institution, shielding the developed applications and thus guaranteeing the integrity of the information that is manipulated through them. The strategy was validated through expert judgment in the field of web application development, emphasizing the importance of applying it to prevent vulnerabilities in institutional web software and thus provide greater reliability in the management of information.
Highlights
At present, the software transition processes developed for desktop environments to web environments are evident, due to the multiple advantages of this type of applications, including their multiplatform nature to run in different web browsers that guarantees quickly access without requiring download, installation and configuration

The analytical method was applied in this investigation, identifying the processes to be taken into account when developing secure web software and, analyzing them based on the definition of indicators
Summary
The software transition processes developed for desktop environments to web environments are evident, due to the multiple advantages of this type of applications, including their multiplatform nature to run in different web browsers that guarantees quickly access without requiring download, installation and configuration. Web application developers require a guide to produce secure applications taking into account principles such as confidentiality, which allows access to data only to validated users [1]. The investigation arose from the need to provide to the systems department of the Simón Bolívar University (Unisimón), San José de Cúcuta, Colombia, with best security practices for software development. It is based on international guidelines for the prevention of security incidents. In this research, are considered sensitive aspects that range from the taking of requirements to the tests and implementation linked to the life cycle of the development of secure software
