The Forrester State of Application Security 2022 report noted that applications are the top cause of external breaches. Software supply chain concerns added complexity.Forrester says security professionals need to find a way to move beyond a tactical and reactive mindset to rebuild an application security that integrates tightly with development and focuses on strategic concerns.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, we are joined by Rick McConnell, CEO of Dynatrace, to talk about application vulnerability and how organisations in Asia need to address the issue as they establish operations in the cloud.Rick, welcome to PodChats for FutureCIO.1. Application vulnerability in the cloud – how real is the problem?2. Cloud migration is on the rise. Are organisations taking appropriate steps to ensure that applications, data and processes are secure?3. In regions like Asia, where local/national rules about the use of cloud technologies vary in terms of maturity and sophistication, what steps can companies, local and regional, take to ensure they go beyond the minimum standards around securing both applications, data and systems?4. Going specifically on application performance monitoring, are all AVM solutions (in the cloud) created equal?5. If an organisation is using some form of AVM solution, is there a baseline from which the company can benchmark how they are using AVMs to ensure they meet minimum international standards (if such exists)?Technology continues to evolve, how does one future-proof its AVM strategy beyond 2022?
