IDC InfoBrief: Market Insights: Application Detection and Response

For the first time in a decade, there is a major upheaval in the way organizations that develop software secure apps and APIs. Cybersecurity analyst firm IDC has just released an IDC InfoBrief titled Market Insights: Application Detection and Response about the recent shift.

The document is a collaboration between two renowned analysts, one focused on Application Security and the other focused on Security Operations. As organizations realize they cannot count on developers-alone or the SOC-alone to handle the complexity of attacks on the application layer, IDC analysts began looking for a new solution.

The IDC analysts came together to examine a new category called Application Detection and Response (ADR). 

In this IDC InfoBrief you will find: 

  • What IDC published research and global IDC survey data show about emerging challenges and trends.
  • How modern application complexities drive the need for more advanced detection and response capabilities.
  • An in-depth look at how and why ADR is a strategic solution to address evolving security risks.
  • Key guidance to help organizations safeguard their applications effectively with ADR.
