 | The majority of web applications exhibit, on average, two or more serious vulnerabilities per application for every industry at any given point in time That is the worrying finding contained in WhiteHat Security's eleventh annual Web Applications Security Statistics Report. The research shows that no industry has mastered application security; and, of the 12 industries analysed, the information technology industry suffers the highest number of critical or high-risk vulnerabilities per web application, at 17. "We've observed that organisations have hundreds, if not thousands, of consumer-facing web applications, and each of these web apps has anywhere from five to 32 vulnerabilities," said Tamir Hardof, chief marketing officer, WhiteHat Security. "This means that there are thousands of vulnerabilities across the average organisation's web applications. While this number is overwhelming, risk ratings can really help security teams prioritise which vulnerabilities they work on fixing first." | ||
