A worrying amount of commonly-used apps have high-severity security flaws, especially those used by companies in the technology sector, new research has found.
A report from Veracode analyzing 20 million scans across half a million applications in technology, manufacturing, retail, financial services, healthcare, and government sectors, found 24% of apps in the technology sector carry high-severity flaws.
Comparatively, that’s the second-highest proportion of applications with security flaws (79%), with only the public sector having it worse (82%).
