Key Insights on Application Vulnerabilities and Attacks (New Report) – Part 2

The percentage of applications with serious vulnerabilities increased significantly over the past year. However, vulnerability prevalence varied across vulnerability type. Knowing which ones are the most prevalent and with the greatest likelihood to impact enables security and development teams to prioritize vulnerability remediation. As developers experience what the two guests—Contrast Security's CTO and Co-founder Jeff Williams and CISO David Lindner—in this Inside AppSec podcast describe as just-in-time security training through real-time, actionable instructions on how to fix vulnerabilities that were introduced into the code, the vulnerability escape rate falls. The two guests also discuss how the RiskScore Index, which catalogs 19 different vulnerability types, enables organizations to pinpoint which vulnerabilities post the highest risk by combining vulnerability and attack data.2021 Application Security Observability Report:https://www.contrastsecurity.com/2021-observability-report
