14 DAY TRIAL // Over 500 CISOs, Information Security Officers, and Information Security Directors have taken part in a Quotium study that focuses on the state of application security from a manager’s perspective.
According to the results, only 11% of security managers believe their company’s applications are secure, while 51% of security managers believe their company’s applications are vulnerable.
On the other hand, the rest (38%) lack knowledge on the state of application security in their organization.
So how often do cybercriminals leverage application vulnerabilities in their attacks? 20% of respondents say that over half of all attacks are on an application layer. Another 63% believe over 25% of attacks are on an application layer.
When it comes to mitigating such attacks, 66% of organizations use pentesting tools on a regular basis. 55% of respondents rely on web scanners and static code analyzers, while 47% use web application firewalls.
