We get these questions a lot. Here are our best answers...
The security of applications is crucial for all businesses, as virtually every company relies on applications in some form. Therefore, protecting it is essential to safeguard against cyber threats, avoiding financial losses, reputational damage, compliance violations, and legal repercussions, ensuring long-term stability and success. As of 2021, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) states 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses, and they have grown 400% since the COVID pandemic began.
An application security program is a comprehensive set of practices and measures to protect applications from cyber threats and vulnerabilities. According to Cisco’s Cybersecurity Readiness Index released in March of 2023, a mere 15% of organizations globally are deemed to have a mature level of preparedness to handle the security risks of our hybrid world.
