Introduction
In the Digital+ economy, where every interaction, transaction and connection become digitized, cyber security isn’t a luxury — it’s an imperative. HCLSoftware plays a pivotal role in this digital transformation and is leader in the realm of cyber defense. Our leadership, education, and cutting-edge software solutions empower organizations to counter the broad and growing array of malicious threats.
Cybersecurity, at its core, is about creating a digital fortress. It’s a broad field that employs myriad security measures and practices to shield and protect computer systems and networks — and the invaluable data they contain — from unauthorized access, attacks, and corruption.
Breaking down the categories of security measures
Here are the areas of your business that need to have rock-solid security measures in place:
Network Security: Protecting computer networks from intruders.
Information Security: Safeguarding information from unauthorized access.
Endpoint Security: Securing end-user devices like computers and mobile devices.
Application Security: Ensuring software and applications are free from threats.
Physical Security: Guarding physical computer systems and associated infrastructure.
Cloud Security: Protecting data stored online in cloud platforms.
Types of attacks
There are many risks and threats out there (the average cyber-attack costs a company about $4.5 million). Here are the most common types of attacks that cost companies globally each year:
Malware: Software designed to harm computer systems.
Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive data through deceptive emails or websites.
Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: Unauthorized interception of communication between two systems.
Ransomware: Malicious software that encrypts a user’s data, holding it hostage until a ransom is paid.
DDoS Attacks: Overloading a system with traffic to cause it to crash.

As our reliance on software grows, so does the complexity of the code behind it. It’s vital, especially for organizations producing proprietary software, to make sure their systems and code are impenetrable — from inception to deployment. Finding, triaging, and fixing issues at the earliest stages in the software development lifecycle is the best defense against attacks, hacking, and data breaches.
HCL AppScan is a portfolio of application security testing and management tools that help organizations secure application code, and the code of open-source and third-party applications that are used to build software. Leveraging the might of Artificial Intelligence, AppScan offers unmatched precision in identifying critical vulnerabilities, enabling organizations to prioritize and rectify them with unprecedented efficiency.
