[Webinar] Reaching the Tipping Point: Web App and API Security’s Biggest Challenges


Yesterday’s security tools weren't designed to defend against modern web attacks.

We surveyed security and engineering professionals from 500 organizations worldwide to find out why legacy security tools are lacking and compiled our findings into an original report, Reaching the Tipping Point of Web Application and API Security. The detailed research gives eye-opening insights into average spend on security tools, security tool sprawl, and time spent responding to false positives — but what does this mean for your organization?

Blind spots only grow bigger and harder to control as web apps become more distributed. Join us for a discussion with our security research team where they explore in detail the findings of our 2021 web application and API security research, including:

  • Why your security tool usage isn’t as effective as you think
  • What the current security investment trends mean
  • How to address the top application security challenges
