While the full Application Security Suite gives security teams the ability to fine-tune security for flagship apps, balancing security protections and performance, Holt said, they frequently don’t have the resources to give all apps the same attention.

“This is an interesting new set of capabilities and largely aligns with what we are seeing in the devops space,” said Jason Andersen, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. “Overall, Digital.ai’s assertion that we are witnessing a significant increase in hacking activity is accurate. Companies like JFrog, who cover different aspects of the toolchain, are also seeing similar increases and it’s largely being chalked up to increased use of automation and AI technology by hackers. So, the need is certainly there, especially in mobile applications which tend to be much more frequently updated than typical enterprise web apps. That’s a crucial distinction for a set of applications that are frankly higher visibility due to customer and partner contact.”
