For example, include vulnerability scanning during early development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement security procedures and systems to protect applications in production environments. For example, perform continuous security testing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement strong authentication for applications that contain sensitive data or are mission critical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use security systems such as firewalls, web application firewalls (WAF), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-types-of-applications-does-a-modern-organization-need-to-secure\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/niknetworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Security-software-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niknetworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Security-software-1.png 628w, https:\/\/niknetworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Security-software-1-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Application security aims to protect software application code and data against cyber threats.
