Improve Your Security Posture With Robust, Intrinsic Application Security

Application Security Vulnerabilities Are Both Expensive and Painful

Software vulnerabilities are a major attack vector, but businesses continue to struggle to secure their applications. As apps become more numerous and complex – web apps, mobile apps, client-server apps, etc. – finding and fixing the growing volume of vulnerabilities just gets harder.

 

Security teams often aren't clear about all the apps they’re supposed to be managing. And because software developers aren’t security professionals, security isn’t one of their top priorities. As a result, countless apps aren’t secure and fail to meet compliance requirements.

As apps get more complex, finding and fixing vulnerabilities gets harder.

Without an effective approach to secure application development and management, you run the risk of breaches that can impact your company’s reputation and bottom line. You may also see inefficiencies internally that can create friction between your development and security teams and can continually impact your bottom line. Oh… you could also be looking at steep fines or costly litigation if your apps are non-compliant (this can also cost you long-term through damage to your reputation. No one wants that.)

 

 

What Is Application Security?

 

Application security (or AppSec) includes all application-level tasks introducing a secure software development life cycle (SDLC) to development teams and putting them into practice. The goal is to build applications more resilient to attacks and improve security practices and, through that, find, fix and preferably prevent security issues within applications before they are released.

Application Security By the Numbers

The number of observed cloud exploitation cases grew by 95% year-over-year in 2022, and adversaries are using a broad array of TTPs (e.g., misconfigurations, credential theft, etc.) to compromise critical business data and applications in the cloud *
