The Future is Bleak
- Cyber attacks have increased by 38% year-over-year, with ransomware attacks occurring every 11 seconds
- Average cost of a data breach has reached $4.88 million globally, with some breaches costing hundreds of millions
- Web applications face an average of 94 attacks per day, targeting common vulnerabilities like injection flaws and broken authentication
- Supply chain attacks have tripled in the past year, affecting thousands of downstream organizations through compromised dependencies
- 88% of successful cyber attacks are due to human error, highlighting the critical need for automated security measures
Current Threat Landscape

The Future is Uncertain
- OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities remain prevalent, with injection attacks and broken access control leading the list
- Modern web applications use dozens of third-party libraries, each potentially introducing security risks
- DevOps speed often conflicts with security thoroughness, creating gaps in the development lifecycle
- Remote work has expanded attack surfaces, making traditional perimeter security insufficient
- Security skills shortage means many organizations lack dedicated security expertise to properly assess risks
Web Application Vulnerabilities on the Rise

The Future is Promising
- Content Security Policy (CSP) prevents XSS attacks by controlling which resources browsers can load and execute
- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) forces secure HTTPS connections and prevents protocol downgrade attacks
- X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers protect against clickjacking and MIME-type confusion attacks
- Referrer Policy controls how much referrer information is shared, protecting user privacy and preventing information leakage
- Implementation is straightforward and provides immediate protection with minimal performance impact

The Future is Hopeful
- Subresource Integrity (SRI) uses cryptographic hashes to verify that external resources haven't been tampered with
- npm audit automatically scans Node.js dependencies for known vulnerabilities and provides upgrade recommendations
- Dependency scanning catches compromised packages before they enter your codebase, preventing supply chain attacks
- Regular dependency updates and security patches reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities
- Automated dependency monitoring provides continuous visibility into your application's security posture
Subresource Integrity & Dependency Security

The Future is Bright
- SonarQube and Sonar Cloud provide comprehensive code quality and security analysis, catching vulnerabilities during development
- Semgrep offers advanced static analysis with custom rules for specific security patterns and compliance requirements
- Integration with CI/CD pipelines ensures every code change is automatically scanned for security issues
- Real-time feedback helps developers learn secure coding practices while they work
- Shift-left security approach catches vulnerabilities early when they're cheapest and easiest to fix
Static Code Analysis & Advanced Scanning

The Future is Brilliant
- Security headers implementation and configuration, including CSP policies tailored to your applications
- Semgrep and/or SonarQube setup and integration with development workflows and CI/CD pipelines
- Initial security assessments and baseline establishment to understand current security posture
- Configuration and setup of ongoing security testing platforms like Detectify or Probely for continuous monitoring
- Developer training and documentation to ensure your team can maintain and improve security measures over time
