The threats of modern application architecture are closer than they appear

2021-12-07 06:55

The progress within modern application development doesn't directly translate to the security world as it often ends up being the aspect that gets left behind.

Even worse, many of these vulnerabilities can go overlooked by security teams as they learn to navigate modern architectures that aren't immediately adaptable to their typical security testing practices.

When it comes to navigating modern application architecture, the biggest challenge for security professionals and IT managers is processing the number of different components that now need to be acutely factored into their decision-making, especially when it comes to security testing.

Testing each modern app component separately - the way security testing was historically done - is no longer going to provide the holistic visibility needed to properly analyze an organization's security posture, meaning that the days of traditional solution testing are behind us.

A large contributor to the rising issues with modern application security testing lies in the shift left vs. shift right debate.

The future of modern application architecture is here - shouldn't the proper security testing techniques follow suit, as well?
