Akamai Finds Web App Attacks Increased in Q3 2017

This article talks about the following: As per Akamai’s Internet Security report, Web application attacks have grown in Q3, 2017 and SQL Injection accounts for 47% of most attacks. Surprisingly, most attacks were aimed at gaming companies. The DDoS attacks happened mostly on gaming industries and accounted for 86% of such attacks.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. In all these cases, US has been found to be the largest exporter of SQL Injection and Web application attacks. Does it mean that the cyber security measures in the country are weak? How can security professionals in organizations learn constantly from these attacks and know about any forthcoming attacks?
