  • As organizations today face pressure to boost their productivity and scale while efficiently optimizing resources, they are increasingly utilizing cloud services to deliver cloud-native applications. Cybersecurity teams recognize the impact of security incidents on their cloud-native applications, including application downtime, business disruption, compliance fines, and negative brand reputation. They need effective cybersecurity solutions that address security risk from development to deployment to ensure security teams can support business growth.

    The efforts to modernize application development utilizing cloud services are focused on optimizing efficiency for growth and scale. However, having separate, siloed security tools that work in different parts of the software development lifecycle works against the speed and efficiency that organizations are trying to achieve. As a result, organizations need to look for ways to gain unified visibility and control to efficiently manage risk and rapidly respond to threats and attacks by incorporating DevSecOps and utilizing cloud security platforms.

    To gain insights into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 373 IT, cybersecurity, and application development professionals in North America (U.S. and Canada) responsible for evaluating or purchasing cloud security technology products and services.

  • Securing applications against exploit, denial of service, and other forms of cyberattack is a mission-critical goal for many cybersecurity teams today. However, due to the distributed nature of most IT environments, responsibility for application security involves a range of roles and teams such as those supporting cloud computing, on-premises technologies, networking, fraud, application development, and more. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, investigated the degree of collaboration between these teams that contribute to the efficacy of the application security programs.

  • Reaching a Tipping Point With API Security

    Application security has become more difficult in large part due to the wide range of tactics attackers can use to exploit their targets. APIs in particular have been a growing concern as applications become more interconnected and reliant on microservices. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, found that API security vulnerabilities have not been receiving the attention and resources needed to appropriately mitigate growing threats, but that might be changing.
