Application security features include authentication, authorization, encryption, logging and application security testing. Furthermore, application security has different applications, including mobile application security, web application security, API security and cloud-native application security. The different benefits of application security include reduced risk from internal and external sources. It preserves the brand image, keeps customer data safe, builds customer confidence, protects sensitive data from leaks and enhances trust from investors and creditors.
The different categories of application include Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Run-time Application Security Protection (RASP). Moreover, the risks associated with application security include cross-site scripting (XSS), denial-of-service (DoS), SQL injection (SQLi), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), memory corruption and buffer overflow. Organizations such as OWASP are involved in tracking the vulnerabilities and providing comprehensive data that developers and security professionals can apply as a starting point for their application security.
Application Security Market Dynamics:
The rise in application deployment over various networks and connected to the cloud leads to an increase in security breaches, increasing the demand for application security. Rising pressure and incentives on enterprises to ensure security at the network level and within an application are major factors driving the market's growth in upcoming years.
Growing need to address advanced security challenges
Increasing security breaches across the globe are creating security threats for consumers and enterprises. Threats such as broken access control, cryptographic failures, vulnerable and outdated components and software and data integrity failures are critical application threats that are likely to affect the application, increasing the demand for application security applications. Furthermore, these threats are so advanced that old technology would find it difficult to track and respond to them, which is also a major driving factor for the market's growth in upcoming years.
Need for high initial investment might hamper the growth of the market
The deployment of application security requires high investment to use the application secuority tools. Furthermore, lack of awareness about the application of security measures among various enterprises is also a major factor that is hampering the market's growth during the forecast period.
