Critical business applications such as Salesforce, SAP, and Workday house the largest concentration of sensitive data within an enterprise. With more organizations reporting breaches that began within the confines of a business application, it’s no surprise that malicious cybercriminals continue to target business applications. Protecting sensitive information requires comprehensive security measures applied to each layer of the communication stack, including the application layer.

Traditional security approaches, which focus on bolstering network and infrastructure, are not sufficient to defend against the attack methods involving misuse or abuse of authorized access in applications with sensitive data.

By utilizing the OSI model as a guide and securing layers from the top-down, enterprises will be better prepared to protect their most critical data in the event of a breach.
