With Application Security, businesses can deploy advanced protection across legacy and modern frameworks and languages with ease."

The critical need for securing cloud applications is highlighted in a recent study from Trend Micro Research. The research identified the top threats targeting serverless applications, which include theft of credentials, sensitive data and code.
