They simply just don’t touch a front end or a back end; today’s web apps impact just about every corner of it. They have also become complex, which has made them a prime target for sophisticated cyberattacks. As a result, web apps must be tested from the inside and out in terms of security before they can be deployed and launched to the public for business transactions to occur. In this episode of the CYBER24 podcast, presented by VLCM, we speak with the author of a new book looking at how your business can keep its app secure.
