The need for a fully integrated application security process is critical. The statistics associated with the security of today’s applications are sobering. Studies have found that almost half of all breaches are the result of a software vulnerability and that at least three-quarters of all applications tested have at least one security flaw, with many applications having multiple flaws.
To ensure improved application security (AppSec), enterprises need to plan for the continuing integration of AppSec into the software development lifecycle. This white paper provides the context in which to understand AppSec and incorporate it more fully into the development process to maximize security and minimize the impact of vulnerabilities, threats and breaches.
