Many IT decision-makers tend to focus their security efforts almost exclusively at the network perimeter. They overlook the business applications that run their day-to-day operations—especially partner portals, shopping baskets, or appointment scheduling, which let customers and vendors interact with internal systems. These applications are often packed with credit card and Social Security numbers, addresses, personal health information, or other data ripe for exploitation.
Proficio recommends the following six steps to achieving application security:
- Find and assess potential vulnerabilities
- Foster an awareness of risk and the need for remediation
- Create and deploy application security features
- Develop continuous methods to find and assess vulnerabilities
- Secure applications throughout the development lifecycle
- Make application security an integral part of your operations
