4 What challenges are enterprises facing? 1 120% increase in breaches reported in Over 500M identities were exposed via breaches in in 8 legitimate websites have a critical vulnerability Web-based attacks: 80% of attacks 5 68% increase in mobile application vulnerability disclosures 4

5 Hacking is Al Capone s new gun Automated attacks Global industry The costs for cyber crime annually is over 400Bn Fraud, extortion, sabotage, industrial espionage, information theft etc. Our adversaries are not 15 year old boys but seasoned and skilled professionals or foreign military Failing to understand who is threatening you will make you underestimate the attack and instead you ll be yet a victim AST

10 What s the current situation? 56% of organisations have been hacked Attackers are targeting applications rather than networks and hardware 84% of breaches occur at the application layer (Gartner, 2013) By identifying vulnerabilities in applications we are minimising the attack surface and safeguard the information and systems AST is just another layer in the security setup 10
