App Security
Protect your apps, safeguard your data
Application Security is the discipline of processes, tools and practices designed to protect applications from threats throughout the application lifecycle. Cybercrime is organized, specialized, and motivated to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in enterprise applications to steal data, intellectual property and sensitive information. Extending security to applications enables organizations to protect any of type of software implementation – legacy, desktop, Web, mobile, micro services – used by any type of user, inside or outside the organization itself.
It’s relevant because…
most successful breaches affect exploitable vulnerabilities that reside in the application layer, indicating the need to be especially vigilant about application security. In addition, the number and complexity of applications are increasing, which further exacerbates the problem. Furthermore, the presence of outsourced development complicates software delivery chain, legacy applications that need to be integrated, in-house development that relies on third-party, open source and commercial, off-the-shelf software components.
