New Webinar: 5 Must-Know Trends Impacting AppSec. Modern web app development relies on cloud infrastructure and containerization. These technologies scale on demand, handling millions of daily file transfers – it's almost impossible to imagine a world without them. However, they also introduce multiple attack vectors that exploit file uploads when working with public clouds, vulnerabilities in containers hosting web applications, and many other persistent threats. We surveyed organizations responsible for securing critical web applications used by healthcare, financial services, technology, and other critical infrastructure verticals to learn how they tackle the most destructive threats and summarized our findings in the OPSWAT 2023 State of Web Application Security Report. The survey report revealed that: In this webinar, join our panel of web application security experts as they expand on the insights gathered while protecting the world's most critical applications. Our experts will also share five must-know web application security insights, including: Webinar: 5 Must-Know Trends Impacting AppSec Platforms like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform are ubiquitous for hosting web applications. However, embracing public cloud hosting without implementing the requisite security measures exposes applications to data breaches. Despite significant advantages, containers may bring additional security risks. Malware or vulnerabilities hidden in containers hosting web applications can disrupt business, risk customer data, and lead to compliance violations. You must check files for malware and sensitive data to prevent breaches and ensure compliance. Our panel will outline pitfalls and tools you can use to avoid costly and embarrassing data leaks. Organizations must implement automated tools, services, and standards that enable teams to securely develop, secure, deploy, and operate applications. Despite most organizations increasing their security budgets, most only use five or fewer AV engines to detect malicious files. Surprisingly, very few disarm files with potentially dangerous payloads with Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology. Join our panel of cybersecurity veterans Emo Gokay, Multi-Cloud Security Engineer at EY Technologies and George Prichici, VP of Products at OPSWAT, as they share insights and strategies gathered from the frontlines of securing critical infrastructure from advanced and persistent malware. Register now to walk away with five key web application security insights and strategies.

Daily Brief Summary

CYBERCRIME // Panel of Experts Discuss Essential Web Application Security Trends in New Webinar

The upcoming webinar will focus on web application security, utilizing findings from "OPSWAT 2023 State of Web Application Security Report," and featuring insights from leading cybersecurity experts.

The use of cloud infrastructure and containerization in modern web app development can result in multiple attack vectors, exploiting file uploads when working with public clouds and vulnerabilities in containers used for web applications.

Web application platforms like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform require dedicated security measures, without which applications may be exposed to data breaches.

While containers can offer several significant benefits, they can also bring along additional security risks. Potentially dangerous malware or vulnerabilities concealed in these containers can lead to business disruption, customer data risk, and compliance violation.

To prevent damaging data leaks, the webinar panel will discuss existing pitfalls and the tools necessary for malware and sensitive data checks.

Even with an increase in security budgets, most organizations only use a limited number of AV engines for malicious file detection.

A walking away point from the webinar would be a set of key web application security insights and strategies, especially around the relatively-underused Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) technology.
