Injection Attacks: The Least Glamorous Attack Is One of the Most Threatening

This article talks about the following: Research says that Injection attacks are the most common form of attacks in organizational networks, especially SQLi. Attackers have started using malicious PHP scripts, mining tools, and force attacks to take control of systems. Out of all this, 47% attacks are from OS Command Injections, 36% from SQL Injections, and about 13% from Code Injections. The most favourable targets for these attacks obviously are the largest networks in organizations.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. With password reuse, server misconfiguration being the usual causes of such vulnerability, how can organizations enforce that employees adhere to security practices? Do such companies have a time-sensitive response system to prevent injection attacks?
