Application Security

As a result of digital transformation, companies are using more applications to enhance their business productivity and enhance their customer experience. It has helped business to grow but at same time, it has created another challenge to secure these applications and data from cybercriminals. Today’s applications are often available over various networks and connected to multiple clouds or edge environments, increasing risk by expanding the attack surface.  

Also, with the evolving digital marketplace, Application modernization is one of the important disruptive technologies that provide future-proof advanced applications with higher efficiency.

According to various sources, below are some of the key reasons why customers are looking at securing their applications:

• Most organizations operate using a mix of traditional and modern app architectures, increasing the complexity of application security.
• With adoption of multi-cloud strategy, Cloud native security is a complex challenge with heterogeneous native security & policies with lack of visibility and centralized management.
• Web Application Security Risks: OWASP Top 10
• Exposed API: As applications increasingly rely on interconnected services and expose functionality through APIs, the attack surface expands significantly.
• Application Vulnerabilities: Malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities in these distributed systems to gain unauthorized access, inject malicious code, or disrupt services.
• Integration with Third party Apps: The proliferation of digitalization initiatives and the integration of applications with cloud services and third-party components heightens the exposure and the risk.
• Securing sensitive data: Sensitive customer data, ranging from personal information to financial details, is a prime target for attackers, necessitating stringent security measures to protect it.
• Availability of Application: Malicious Web Application and API Transactions has rose to 171% Driven by Layer 7 Web DDoS Attacks. Critical applications are more prone to volumetric and application specific attacks as they are the main target of Cybercriminals.
• Broken Object Level Authorization and User Authentication.

Solution to overcome these challenges is deploying a robust and cutting-edge solution which can secure applications from being targeted and provide secure access to legitimate users without compromising on Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability of the applications and the data.
