Industry research, along with anecdotal evidence, is highlighting that for many organisations application security is the Achilles heel of their information security strategy.  With increasing time and budgetary pressures on systems developers, and security officers focusing on traditional security issues such as compliance and infrastructure security, application security is emerging as the single largest security threat for many organisations.

Indeed, recent figures from industry analysts identify that 75% of all emerging information security related vulnerabilities are at the application layer.  When coupled with security incident information from leading security vendor Symantec, which highlights a significant growth in monitored incidents globally now occurring at the application layer, the potential scale and impact of this emerging problem becomes apparent.

This white paper from Sopra Group highlights how these vulnerabilities have emerged and why traditional security architectures do not protect your organisation against the majority of these security threats.  More importantly, the paper presents pragmatic risk mitigation strategies and basic advice that all organisations with applications either in development or live in-service should strongly consider.
