Security is not limited to few experts. Be it application developers or infrastructure specialist, knowledge in the field of security and privacy will help them create acceptable applications. With the advent of mobile, there are over 2 million apps each on Android and iOS.  But an interesting fact is 55% do not make it to the platform as they would have missed the security and privacy consideration while developing the application.

Web Applications are a growing focus point for cyber criminals

2020 Verizon data breach report confirms 43% of data breaches are tied to web applications, which more than doubled year over year

2020 IBM Security's cost of data break report suggests, average cost of data breach in India is $2M in 2020. Avg. cost for a compromised credential is $150*

The risk to business is significant when an application vulnerability is exploited leading to outage, data breach or brand degradation
