Vulnerability should never be a feature
Secure by Design
In the development process of applications, most teams focus on the functionality of the system. Security implemented as an afterthought always leads to vulnerabilities that are easy to find.
Applications that can be accessed over the internet are exposed to a myriad of security threats. Security breaches can cause severe damage to an organization's image and may result in financial damages, loss of customers and revenue, and even may force a company out of business.
- Secure applications make it harder for attackers to violate the integrity of your systems, making them seize their efforts and focus on easier targets instead.
- Development teams that only focus on the functionality of a system and implement security as an afterthought, allow for vulnerabilities that are easily exploited.
- Development teams should pay attention to security from the moment they start implementing functionality.
