Top 2017 AppSec Challenges and Investment Areas

We surveyed 100 CISOs and decision makers in 2016 to understand their security priorities for 2017, and found that top areas of focus included securing applications hosted in public clouds and public-facing web applications, with mobile applications also being a key area of investment. The current state of the internet's attack surface presents hackers with more opportunities than ever, making it difficult for organizations to keep up with potential exploits, resulting in rising breach rates. Cybersecurity challenges include staffing or resourcing issues, budget constraints, and getting management buy-in on security initiatives, with larger organizations facing unique challenges such as internal buy-in and budgeting. To combat these challenges, traditional application security tools are not sufficient, and organizations need to find new ways to stay ahead of modern-day attackers.
