Five Key Trends In Application Security
summary
Five concrete trends and why they matter: apps move across data centers public and private clouds, perimeter shifts to CDNs and often fragments across multiple CDN vendors; monoliths split into hundreds of externally exposed APIs and microservices; regulation risk rises under GDPR and CCPA when vendors inspect traffic; automated attacks explode — 14 billion leaked credentials, 0.1–0.5% credential stuffing success rates, commodity tools like Sentry MBA with configs sold for $5–$500, and “bulletproof proxies” renting millions of IPs. Recommended fixes: security that moves with apps, API coverage, vendor compliance proof, visibility without heavy instrumentation, and open integrations.
