\"Education\"Summary: As cyber-attacks increase and become more sophisticated, application security should be a top priority. Yet, businesses still struggle in this area. They are not only still developing\u00a0applications with poor security, they\u2019re building applications with widely-known vulnerabilities.\u00a0This webinar replay will help you learn problems that lead to vulnerable applications, and security mistakes you can’t afford to make.<\/span><\/em>

Let me ask you a question: Which aspect of your business systems do you think hackers target the most? As mentioned in this article<\/span><\/a>: \u201cAccording to numerous studies, the preferred method for attacking businesses’ online assets is via their Web applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why do hackers target web apps? Because they are commonly built with known vulnerabilities–giving attackers an easy way into a business.<\/p>\n

A recent report<\/span> found that 86 percent of web applications tested had serious issues with authentication, access control, and confidentiality. What\u2019s worse, 52% of web applications suffered from commonly-known vulnerabilities, like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and others.<\/p>\n

These findings are downright scary. Businesses aren\u2019t even protecting their applications against the most common threats. For a decade now, threats like Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection have taken the top spots in the OWASP Top Ten list<\/span><\/a>–a listing of the most critical web app security flaws. What\u2019s more, they\u2019re not that hard to fix. <\/p>\n

Consider those facts<\/strong>: Most business web applications suffer from widely known, yet preventable security vulnerabilities. They are not new threats–being listed as a top security threat for over 10 years running. These threats can cause irreparable damage to a business. <\/p>\n

Why does this keep happening year after year? Why do businesses keep creating applications containing known (and dangerous) vulnerabilities? How can your business address these issues?<\/p>\n

We recently held a webinar on the web application security risks you can\u2019t afford to make<\/span>. In this webinar replay, you will learn how to:<\/p>\n
