b'AUSTIN, Texas, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Invicti Security, a global leader in web application security, today released the spring volume of its Invicti AppSec Indicator Report , which examines the prevalence of web vulnerabilities across more than 3,500 targets in every industry and more than 100 countries.
If that trend had continued, the overall incidence of high-severity vulnerabilities would have decreased from 26% to about 20%.
Recent research indicates that the largest percentage of breaches in 2020 began with a web application, yet at the same time, the number and severity of a variety of other types of attacks reached new highs in 2020, diverting the time and resources of security organizations away from web application security.\n"It\'s very troubling to see this loss of momentum due to reduced attention to web application security," said Invicti president and COO Mark Ralls.
"As we look ahead, we hope to see organizations adopt best practices and invest in security, so that they can continue to advance their web security posture, protect their customers, and avoid being the next big security breach headline.
