Web App attacks up 69%, US main source of cyber attacks

This article talks about the following: The rate of growth in web application attacks have grown substantially over the last few years. Akamai Q3 State of the Internet Security Report says that the Web App attacks have grown 69% compared to previous quarter. SQL Injection attacks have grown 62% compared to previous year. Statistics says that US stands in the top of the list as the main source of cyber-attacks and that SQL injection attacks rank in the top vulnerability category.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. SQL Injection attacks have been a common phenomenon. Despite firewalls preventing connections to database, these attacks have taken the brute force way. How can companies strengthen their internal database to prevent cyber-attacks? How can regulations be imposed among internet use, especially in the US, so that the rate of attacks lowers down further?
