/ 1 min read

🔍 New research reveals alarming web exposure risks for organizations. A study by Reflectiz found that 45% of third-party applications access sensitive user information without proper authorization, with 53% of risk exposures in retail linked to excessive tracking tools. The report highlights the need for organizations to limit app access to personal data and reassess their web exposure, particularly in industries like Entertainment and Online Retail. It emphasizes the importance of context in risk assessment, noting that popular apps are generally safer, while less-known ones pose greater risks. Reflectiz’s innovative Exposure Rating system offers a way for companies to evaluate their security priorities and benchmark against peers.
