Did you know that the average cost of a data breach in the United States has surpassed $10.22 million? The key culprits behind this staggering figure? Vulnerable software and exposed networks. While Application Security and Network Security are often mentioned together, it's important to note that they serve distinct purposes. Application Security protects the apps your business relies on—websites, APIs, and mobile platforms—while Network Security safeguards the infrastructure these apps run on, such as routers, switches, and cloud environments.
A common mistake businesses make is treating these two as interchangeable or assuming one layer of protection is sufficient. In reality, a strong firewall cannot compensate for a poorly coded login form, and a secure app cannot thrive in a flat, unsecured network. In this blog, we’ll delve into the differences between application and network security, explore their pros and cons, and explain why a balanced approach to both is critical for modern businesses.
