Challenges of Securing Applications in Enterprises

The more important the organization, the bigger the challenge for the hacker, and the bigger risk of being hacked. Hackers have been increasing their sophistication by raising the mitigation level. User mobility and globalization of the enterprise environment pose another challenge as traditional security is bypassed.

In recent years the mobility of companies in the global environment has generated another layer of security risks. There has been a significant increase in the number of incidents of attacks through Social Engineering, where users are victims of a lack of knowledge and a lack of validation.

A new technology approach is required to mitigate the new levels and sophistication of hackers by deploying automated behavioral based application level attacks protection that analyzes both requests made towards the protected applications and clients, and the replies returning in response to these requests.

Employees must be constantly educated not to open e-mails from unknown senders and to question any link before they click. The bottom line is that they need to understand that no one really offers anything for free.
