A good library is the first step.

What books do you have on the matter?

For example, there's:

   WEB SECURITY SOURCEBOOK
   - A complete guide to Web Security Threats and Solutions
   Authors Aviel D. Rubin, Daniel Geer, and Marcus J. Ranum
   ISBN 0-471-18148-X 1997

(I think I bought it from Amazon.com)

You need to have a library of good security books, and read them.

I say that because you have asked such a fundamental question.
