Web application environments are becoming more complex and challenging to secure.
With applications increasingly residing in the cloud, being containerized, connected via APIs, and delivered through CDNs, maintaining robust security measures is more critical than ever. Attackers are exploiting these vulnerabilities, launching sophisticated campaigns that target web applications and APIs through a variety of tactics, including bots and denial-of-service attacks. TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 383 IT and cybersecurity professionals in North America (U.S. and Canada) responsible for securing their organization's web applications and APIs. The survey reveals that nearly half of the respondents (46%) find it more challenging to protect web applications and APIs compared to two years ago. Critical pain points include the increasing use of cloud infrastructure, maintaining visibility and security of APIs, and securing cloud-native architectures.
