On the vulnerability front, the total number of Web application vulnerabilities actually decreased in 2016. This stat comes by way of Imperva researchers who last week reported their findings in a technical analysis of vulnerability trends for 2016. Researchers Nadav Avital and Mia Joskowicz believe that corresponding attack data shoots that down as unlikely. They believe that there’s only so many security researchers out there in the world and right now, they’ve got other fish to fry. By 2021 there will be 1 million new IoT devices sold every hour and $2.5 million spent per minute on IoT applications.”]
