Security managers feel apps are vulnerable

September 6, 2013 By Editor

Some interesting research findings have revealed some startling findings when it comes to the state of application security.  Quotium research shows the large majority of security managers feel their organization’s applications are still vulnerable to hacker attacks, despite best efforts to employ wide range of solutions to prevent application threats. One of the most interesting findings of this study is the gap between the efforts put into protecting applications and the actual state of the applications. While almost all organizations invest time, money and energy into protecting their infrastructure, using one or more types of service or technology, most applications remain vulnerable and are still being attacked.  Findings of the results reveal the following:

  • 11% of security managers think their company’s apps are secure
  • 50% believe their apps are vulnerable
  • 80% think off the shelf apps are vulnerable
