Why Government Must Revolutionize End-To-End Application Security

Applications have gradually become the internet’s defining structure. So it’s not surprising that, according to Gartner, 80% of all attacks are at the application security layer..

Federal agencies face difficult challenges: cyberattacks, mobile access, data center consolidation, cloud deployments, complex application environments and constantly increasing network traffic. At the heart of it all, budget constraints demand smart, affordable solutions that make government systems more secure, resilient and flexible.

But as software applications transform government, they also expand its potential attack surface, and increase the potential for fraud and abuse, particularly phishing attacks.


“Malicious attackers stand ready to target government agencies and their treasure trove of data. Applications remain the biggest external attack method, and government entities must aggressively protect applications to secure the data these apps create and access.”“Malicious attackers stand ready to target government agencies and their treasure trove of data.
