When protecting web applications, companies often use multiple technologies to create a layered defense. These controls typically take the form of software—like firewalls—as well as other cybersecurity measures like two-factor authentication, which both serve to keep unwanted and malicious guests away from their internal systems. Unfortunately, the client-side attack surface does not receive as much attention.
This is the entire surface of a company's website or web application that customers and partners may view using their personal web browsers. Many businesses are hesitant to take strong precautions to protect their digital assets since some regulations might be disruptive and slow down the overall consumer experience.
Deploying a content security strategy is one of the finest methods to safeguard your company's client-side (also known as CSP). This is a basic security precaution that can be applied to any website as an extra layer of security. The future of security is being shaped by the need for companies to secure their networks, data, devices, and identities. This includes adopting security frameworks like zero trust, which will help companies secure internal information systems and data in the cloud. With the sheer volume of new threats, today’s security landscape has become more complex than ever. With the rise of ransomware, firms have become more aware of their ability to recover from an attack if they are targeted, but security needs also continue to evolve as new technologies, apps, and devices are developed faster than ever before. This means that organizations must be focused on solutions that allow them to stay on the cutting edge of technology and business.
But this makes it a challenging task for businesses to find the right solution provider who could find the exact requirements. That's where GRC Outlook magazine is bridging the gap with the Top 10 Content Security solution providers in the 2022 listing. The companies listed below were selected by a panel of experts.
