Is your organization at risk of a cyberattack? The answer is yes- your organization can face cyber attack, anytime. There are a number of applications used by organizations today and as per a research by Synopsys titled 2021 Software Vulnerability Snapshot, almost all, 97% of applications have some form of vulnerability.

In this research, 3,900 tests were conducted on 2,600 target applications or systems. The research company performed tests for its customers both, with access and without access to applications.

Following are the key highlights from the research:

The report has also made a few recommendations to help organizations minimize security risks and avoid cyber-attacks. It advises businesses to draft security policies and implement them in order to protect themselves against cyberattacks as in most of the vulnerabilities found, 77% were due to missing or inadequate company policies.

Another recommendation is a software bill to detail third-party libraries which are used in software applications. If infected, these libraries can make it difficult to gather information or track the system. According to the report, nearly one in five tests revealed software applications using infected or vulnerable libraries by third-party.

Cybersecurity risks are growing in complexity but understanding them and taking the right measures is the best way to protect your networks and systems.
