Web apps allow users to work faster and more flexibly. They also contain vulnerabilities hackers can – and do – exploit.
To give you some context, in 2023, web applications were the main means of breach hackers used. They featuring in 80% of incidents and 60% of breaches.
Why web applications are a top target for attack
First, many web applications carry vulnerabilities or configuration errors. Second, many contain extremely valuable information, such as personal and financial data. A successful breach will give attackers direct access to that data. Barracuda research shows that 40% of IT professionals who’ve been involved in ethical hacking believe web application attacks are among the most lucrative for cyber-attackers, and 55% say the same for APIs.

This e-book takes an in-depth look at three critical attack vectors — API vulnerabilities, bot attacks, and client-side attacks — as well as how organisations can fill the gaps in their application security and protect against these evolving threats.
