Nature Vs. Nurture

What leads to this year’s state of software security? Is it nature or nurture? Is it the attributes of the app that the developer inherits – it’s security debt, its size – or is it the actions of the developers – how frequently they are scanning for security or how security is integrated into their processes? And if it’s “nature,” is there anything developers or security pros can do to improve security outcomes?

This year’s research unearthed some surprising – and promising – data surrounding ways to “nurture” the security of your applications, even if the “nature” is less than ideal.
