"Only Two Percent of Organizations Feel Confident in Their Cybersecurity Strategies"
According to a new report from the critical infrastructure protection specialist OPSWAT, although 75 percent of organizations have made significant efforts to upgrade their infrastructure in the past year and 78 percent have increased their security budgets, only 2 percent of industry experts are confident in their security strategies. Most organizations have adopted public cloud hosting for their web applications, with 97 percent already using or planning to implement containerization. In addition, 62 percent of organizations use five or fewer antivirus engines to detect malicious file uploads, which represents a potential weakness because applying more engines can greatly strengthen an organization's defense against advanced malware. This article continues to discuss key findings from OPSWAT's report on the state of web application security.
