Arxan Technologies State Of Application Security Infographic


An excellent article from Arxan Technologies about the state of piracy within digital media :-

State of Digital Media Piracy (Infographic)

It’s no secret that large amounts of music listeners are ditching the price tag of their favorite music and are instead downloading pirated versions of them for free. So, what’s this costing the digital media industry as a whole? And how are these pirated versions being made available in the first place?

Software security company, Arxan Technologies, just recently released their 2015 State of Application Security report, which answers these questions and more. The report found the root cause for the recent rise of piracy was contributed to poorly protected applications and a rapidly evolving ecosystem for pirated releases. Furthermore, they discovered that very few applications are deployed with protected binary code. This means a hacker can directly access unprotected binary code, analyze and reverse-engineer it back to source code. With the revealed source code, hackers or pirates can quite easily copy, modify and redistribute digital media releases.

Jeff Bedser, CEO of iThreat Cyber Group says “The best thing content owners can do is continually monitor the marketplace and equip themselves with intelligence tools and leverage data and application protection techniques to fight piracy head on.”

The infographic below highlights key findings from the Arxan’s 2015 State of Application Security report.
