Web applications have become the backbone of business in almost all segments of the economy. Connect employees, customers and partners to the information they need anywhere fl20ss and anytime. Although reduced the cost of access to that information and has dramatically accelerated the pace of business, they have also increased the risks: identity theft, data leakage, malware, denial of service request (DoS) and botnets increasingly impacting malicious web applications, with consequences that affect the brand, revenue and compliance.
Research conducted by the Center for the Application fl20ss of Defences Imperva found that nearly 92% of web applications are susceptible to some kind of attack, and 57% are vulnerable to information theft. Additionally, Web applications change frequently and new vulnerabilities are introduced into these updates. Also, application updates can break unnoticed patches created to fix security fl20ss holes, and restating old vulnerabilities.
Unfortunately, currently spending on data security focuses on enterprise networks, leaving weaknesses in database and applications that can be exploited by cybercriminals. In 2009, the 10 largest fl20ss data leaks reveal that 74% of data loss violations came from database, 19% of gaps in implementation and 7% of gaps in the network. However, over 90% of the 16,000 million dollars invested in security in 2009 was allocated to the networks.
Add to this the current confusion fl20ss among organizations as to the type of security tools needed to deal with the problem, with many relying on traditional network fl20ss firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). In a recent report fl20ss by Frost & Sullivan, 55% believe that having a powerful network firewall is sufficient to compensate for the lack of a web application firewall (WAF). 48.3% felt that a WAF is only necessary if a company wants to be PCI-DSS.
However, regulations such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) order now protecting the application layer. The companies that process, store or transmit credit card data must install a WAF or undergo annual reviews of the implementation fl20ss and after each change of the application. Note that there is no obligation to IPS.
