CSOonline: What is application security and how to secure your software

Application security is the process of making apps more secure by finding, fixing, and enhancing the security of apps. Much of this happens during the development phase, but it includes tools and methods to protect apps once they are deployed. This is becoming more important as hackers increasingly target applications with their attacks.

In the first of a two-part series for CSOonline, I discuss some of the reasons why you need to secure your apps and the wide variety of specialized tools for securing mobile apps, for network-based apps, and for firewalls designed especially for web applications. Next month, I will recommend some of these products.
