Home » How a Security Breach Can Impact the Value of Your Brand
Websites and Web applications are the most visible and vulnerable part of a company’s infrastructure so it’s no surprise that cybercriminals scan thousands of websites every hour in search of vulnerabilities. Today, 80 percent of website attacks are aimed at Web applications.
Unfortunately, when a security breach occurs, it’s not just consumer data that is compromised or a website that goes down. Consumer confidence and trust also falls, tarnishing a business’ reputation and ultimately affecting its bottom line.
