Serious Vulnerabilities Increase While Overall Vulnerabilities Decrease in July-August

Contrast Labs’ latest bimonthly research findings (“Application Security Intelligence Report”) unearthed some positive vulnerability and attack trends. Overall application vulnerabilities decreased, and the number of attacks hitting an existing vulnerability in production also shrank to just 1%. But a deeper look reveals cause for concern due to the lack of prioritization in vulnerability management, attacks on .NET applications, and more. Listen to this Inside AppSec podcast with Contrast Security’s CISO David Lindner and Data Scientist Katharine Watson for their insights on these and other trends.
