Secure applications protect the most valuable asset
Software application security are important to the business
Today’s companies rely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and proprietary software applications to manage the data and conduct business. Software security and quality have direct impact to the success of the business. Software vulnerabilities are big threats to the business.
Government actions and legislation are also impacting software security and quality
Regulators have declared that organizations cannot outsource accountability to their services providers. The organizations must make sure that their services supported by software applications will not put the customers at risk.
Building security into software development life cycle
Doing it right the first time is less expensive. For legacy applications that don’t have security-related controls built-in, adding security is much difficult and requires careful planning and expertise.
