Overview
Current Challenges
Web application security is a growing concern for enterprises. A significant
portion of all cyberattacks are directed at web applications, and that rate is
increasing.
Factors such as the rise of cloud computing, use of open source technologies,
the increase in data processing requirements, complexity of web applications,
and an increase in the overall sophistication of attackers has led to an
extremely challenging environment for IT security leadership.
Data security standards such as PCI DSS, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework,
and ISO/IEC 27001 also present a significant hurdle for security teams. Each
standard is rigorous, requiring hundreds of controls to achieve compliance.
When a breach occurs, it could often have been prevented. However, security
budgets are not keeping up. Information technology leaders struggle to keep
pace with innovation and the growing costs of breach mitigation, prevention,
post-breach remediation, and cleanup.
