2014 was a watershed year for the security industry. Cyber-attacks reached a tipping point in terms of quantity, length, complexity and targets. Mitigation techniques are being challenged with the emergence of three disruptive macro IT trends such as cloud migration, rise of the Internet of the Things (IoT) and move toward software defined network (SDN). Even organizations with by-the-book security programs can be caught off guard.  
 
Radware's "2014-2015 Global Application & Network Security Report" provides a comprehensive and objective review of 2014 cyber-attacks from a business and a technical perspective and gives best practice advice for organizations to consider when planning for cyber-attacks in 2015. It  offers a framework for understanding the "why" behind cyber-attacks - providing an orderly way to asses seemingly chaotic threats.
