“Application security failures are costly, damaging and too prevalent, but most of these failures are completely avoidable,” said Ed Adams, “If companies thought about their applications as threats or liabilities instead of assets they’d treat them a lot differently, from conception through development and deployment. By staying attentive to security risks throughout an application’s development cycle and avoiding common mistakes, organizations will not only develop secure applications, but more importantly a culture of security throughout the enterprise.”
