Rise of Cloud Creates New Requirements for Application
Security
"Regardless of the reason why you’re building web-based
applications, whether it’s for a cloud-based service or for enterprise
applications, just by the nature of the applications being delivered via the
web, they’re more open to more individuals out in the world. Unfortunately, most
applications are vulnerable, “ says David Grant, Director of Security Solutions
for IBM Rational software.
According to IBM’s X-Force most recent
research from the end of 2008, over 50% of all vulnerabilities disclosed last
year were related to the application layer.
"Unfortunately, the biggest misconception is, most
people think they have it covered with today’s protection that they have in
place, which unfortunately is not the case in most situations,” says Grant.
In this BizTech Reports podcast, David Grant discusses the
new and elevated role application security must play to protect vital corporate
interests in as efficient a manner possible.
