The article discusses how important cybersecurity is for organizations, especially when it comes to web applications. A study found that 74% of apps have security flaws, with 69% having vulnerabilities from a top security list. The researchers created two web apps using different programming languages and tested them for security flaws. Surprisingly, even with security best practices, both apps still had vulnerabilities. The study highlights the need for developers to focus on cybersecurity early in the software development process and be aware of potential security risks.
