Security on The Application Level
Now more than ever before, the information security industry has seen a dramatic increase in the demand for enhanced Application Security. Keeping pace with substantial improvements within network layer security, hackers have also discovered new ways to compromise organizations by exploiting multiple vulnerabilities found within the application level.
To ensure your organization remains secure, Application Security must be addressed as an essential part of your overall information security plan.
Applications are attacked in multiple ways, including SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting (XSS), any of which can compromise your business information and your customers’ privacy. If that weren’t enough, as soon as new application technology is introduced, equally new security vulnerabilities quickly follow. These significant risks must be identified and resolved as a top priority. Another new development in this area is the massive technological shift toward mobile application development, which creates another layer of security issues that need to be addressed.
The good news is that you can identify and resolve application vulnerabilities during any phase of the application’s lifecycle – during design, development and/or release.
