Why web application attacks are a growing threat to the cloud

This article talks about the following: Web application are becoming a growing threat to cloud systems. It is found that 73% of the cloud attacks are directed towards the web applications. These attacks usually comprise SQL Injections or Cross Scripting strategies. These attackers take control of CMS (Control Management Systems) and in fact, most such attacks are automated

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. Will organizations be able to deploy sophisticated defences against SQL Injections in the future and will they be able to leverage cost, quality, and time as key factors in such deployments? The answer to this question will only tell us the applicability and adaptability of these systems in the future

    Donald,
    I don’t think that our phones and personal devices will be the biggest threats in the future. There have all our personal information such as photos, locations, and our contacts. I do believe that so many non trusted applications can be the main source to attack those devices. The problem is they can’t provide a patching and they are not tested by Apple or Samsung.
