Description

Application vulnerabilities are a recognized, pervasive, and significant security concern. As discussed in this SPIE, involvement in secure software development by security professionals pales relative to their level of concern over application vulnerabilities. Additionally, form and function priorities for application developers keep secure software development at the low end of their priority ladders. These points notwithstanding, there is reason to be optimistic that secure software development will gain increasing favor among application development and security teams.
