Are untested Web applications putting your business at risk?

Many organizations depend on Web-based software to run their business processes, conduct transactions and deliver increasingly sophisticated services to customers. Unfortunately, in the race to meet deadlines and stay ahead of the competition, many businesses fail to perform adequate security testing or take the time to make sure applications are in compliance with industry and regulatory standards. The result is that many companies may unwittingly expose corporate or personal data to cybercriminals who can exploit these vulnerabilities for fun and profit—placing the entire business at risk. And since many regulatory requirements mandate a degree of application security, these organizations also run the risk of failing to meet compliance audit requirements, which can result in fines and customer backlash. To help protect your company’s valuable assets, it’s important to test Web applications throughout their entire lifecycle—as they’re being developed and after they’re put into production.
