Custom-built applications, tailored specifically for an organization, face unique security challenges.
The first challenge lies in the complex nature of internal systems, which often require tailored security measures. Additionally, the absence of publicly available updates and patches means that every vulnerability must be identified and resolved by the internal development team, significantly extending response times to newly discovered threats.
Another issue is adapting authentication and access management processes to the unique characteristics of these applications, which may not always be compatible with standard IAM solutions. Furthermore, such applications are more vulnerable to targeted attacks because they contain unique data and functionalities that are valuable to attackers.
Securing these applications requires a solution that offers flexibility and the ability to integrate with diverse environments, while providing strong protection against a broad range of threats.
