The latest News and Information on Application Security including monitoring, testing, and open source.
Securing modern-day production systems is complex and requires a variety of measures—from secure coding practices and security testing to network protection and vulnerability scanning. Scaling these solutions to keep pace with the speed of development teams can be difficult, resulting in sprawling workflows and disparate sets of tooling.
Threat actors today are increasingly targeting the application layer, driving significant challenges for companies using traditional application security strategies. To defend themselves against the rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations need to build a modern AppSec strategy that addresses these fast-changing conditions. But how?
Did you know that when we talk about online security, cyber security, application security, and software security are all different? Sometimes, software security and application security are used interchangeably. However, there is a key difference between these two; both are different from cyber security. Application security is a more reactive approach and software security, on the other hand, has a more proactive approach.
Regardless of how last year went, a few things probably come to mind that you’d like to leave in 2022. Maybe it’s a bad habit you’d like to drop or a mindset you’d like to change. But speaking of ditching bad habits, some poor cloud application security practices shouldn’t carry over to 2023 either!
Application security is particularly important in the banking and financial technology sector, where a single breach can put large portions of sensitive information at risk. How to manage that risk is a complex process that affects how teams secure applications across their software supply chain.
According to Forrester Research, applications are the top cause of external breaches because cybercriminals consider them to be one of the easiest entry points to attack organizations’ code bases. As supply chain attacks increase, it has become increasingly important for organizations to implement and maintain a continuous application security program and make it a priority.
