Research reveals 50% of apps have security vulnerabilities
WhiteHat Security, provider of application security, released AppSec Stats Flash Volume 2. WhiteHat’s AppSec Stats Flash debuted last month and is a new monthly, contemporary podcast and report format that provides a more accurate view of the current state of application security. In this month’s episode, WhiteHat Security’s Setu Kulkarni, VP, Corporate Strategy & Business Development, and Zach Jones, Senior Director of Detection Research are joined by Alan Snyder, CEO of NowSecure, to discuss the state of mobile application security by examining detection data and the likelihood of vulnerability.
“In 2021, we have more detailed security and breach data than ever before. Yet, the state of application security remains very concerning. No application is built the same way and therefore each presents an entirely unique attack surface,” said Kulkarni. “That, combined with the fact that applications today are increasingly polymorphic presenting web, mobile and API-based interfaces, makes application security a multi-dimensional challenge.”
