The document outlines several challenges in application security that organizations face, especially in light of increasing cyber-attacks and the emphasis on supply chain security. Key issues include code injection, which involves inserting malicious code into applications, and highlights the need for businesses to update legacy software to combat these vulnerabilities. A robust application security program is essential for maintaining customer trust and meeting regulatory requirements.

Security
FOLLOW US ON:
Leaders can shield their organizations from rising cyber-attacks that jeopardize their
bottom lines by tracking changing application security risks and implementing effective
policies.
Customer concern for the
application security policies of
their security vendors’ software
has never been stronger due to the
growing emphasis on supply chain
security. Businesses may preserve
customer trust and meet their
security and regulatory
requirements with the help of a
robust program. However, there
are numerous obstacles
that enterprises must overcome on
this development roadmap in
relation to application security. Some of these challenges are-
Code Injection
Code injections are one of the most frequent application security concerns when a hacker inserts
malicious code into a web application in order to steal confidential data, transmit a virus, seize
control of the site, or engage in other harmful actions. An example of one of these methods is
SQL injection, where an attacker sneaks a SQL statement into an application to access or
manipulate database data. Companies can protect themselves from these cyberattacks by patching
or upgrading their legacy software, which is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks.
