How Do Vulnerabilities Get into Software?

According to the Department of Homeland Security, 90% of security incidents result from exploits against defects in software. While it’s important to focus on external threats, it’s equally critical to ensure the management of internal vulnerabilities.

In this white paper, take an in-depth look at 4 common causes that lead to software vulnerabilities, which include:

  • Insecure coding practices
  • The evolving threat landscape
  • Reusing vulnerable components & code
  • Programming language idiosyncrasies

These are also closely related to: "Components Increasing Speed and Risk"

  • Your path to a mature AppSec program

    According to a recent Verizon study, almost 40% of observed security incidents and data breaches were the direct result of a cyberattack targeting web applications – but it’s no secret that apps are often the target of today’s threats.

    This e-book, Your Path to a Mature AppSec Program, provides expert guidance to help your organization modernize its AppSec approach – chapters include:

    • An introduction to application security
    • AppSec stages
    • Steps to reach AppSec security
