Another modern application security report conducted by Fastly shows improved performance results for business organizations. In this report, it has been found that sophisticated security applications produce business results three times better than others. As far as the findings are concerned, organizations implementing modern security applications are at a decreased risk of breaches. In addition to this, they are also less vulnerable to operational disruptions. Therefore, they enjoy enhanced trust from their customers. This report presents different security maturity conditions in the environments of various applications. According to the findings, organizations that are applying automation processes are capable of fast deployment cycles. They are also avoiding critical security events.
“IDC’s new study, sponsored by Fastly, underscores the critical role of exceptional modern application security programs. Play in driving both security and business success,” said Marshall Erwin, CISO at Fastly. Organizations with exceptional AppSec programs are far better equipped to mitigate catastrophic and costly incidents like data breaches. Security and business leaders now have a clear roadmap to follow to elevate their programs and achieve transformative outcomes.”
In addition, the case points to the gaps that exist between traditional and contemporary security strategies. Organizations that use outdated solutions suffer from scalability and reaction time. But contemporary solutions enable proactive measures to mitigate potential threats. Fastly highlighted that innovation was not to the detriment of security when the application security solution was contemporary. Organizations’ security operations teams must be aligned with the goals of business growth, therefore.
In addition, the report points out that there is growing and increasing pressure on security teams because of distributed architectures. Therefore, firms are moving towards cloud-native security solutions. As a result of the acceleration of digital transformations, modern security initiatives are emerging as a necessity. The report verifies that modern app sec provides business value.
