Enterprise applications are becoming more central to organizations’ value streams, as companies across various industries look to accelerate their digital transformation. The consequent and exponential adoption of cloud services and applications is further fueled by remote work as teams seek to maintain productivity with effective and transparent processes. 

This evolution often involves shifting app development to containers and microservices, which is great for rapid development and deployment, but leaves open the door for security vulnerabilities to sneak in. As development practices evolve, new threats and pitfalls emerge, such as external attacks, privilege abuse, and data theft.
