Accelerated delivery of high-quality and secure business applications
Today’s trend of increasingly successful breaches is changing from attacks on networks to attacks against applications. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), 90% of software security incidents result from exploits against defects in software.1 To combat this increasing threat, industry and government regulations have evolved and increasingly require that applications be “secure by design”. At the same time, the move to digital is rapidly increasing the quantity and variety of applications and blurring the boundary between work and personal devices. These trends are rapidly expanding the risk profile, attack surface, number and location of applications that must be secured.
To protect against this threat, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, organizations must take a proactive approach to securing their applications.
