Secure Your Application Layer, Secure Your Business

The Log4j, Equifax, Colonial Pipeline, and SolarWinds attacks all happened at the application layer, or Layer 7 of the OSI model, which interfaces with the open internet and is, thus, a desirable target for hackers. Such breaches can be extremely harmful due to the rich information available at this layer. To secure the application layer, companies need to utilize tools for source code analysis, static application security testing, and dynamic application security testing. Companies should incorporate security measures as they develop software to protect their systems and data from potential threats.
