Data protection is of utmost importance in any organization’s growth and for good reasons this responsibility is shifting down to the levels of development lifecycles. It makes organization secure as well as saves Company’s time, resources and money. 

In a study report released by Forrester Consulting last month, at IBM the average time to fix vulnerability in application security solution has been pulled down to 30 minutes only from a huge level of 20 hours. It provides big savings in all respects if bugs are found and fixed in development process itself rather than later.

The software environment is becoming more complex by each passing day. Many of open source tools and plug-in software are being used these days. Lot of stuff is being used where code has not been written by the developer himself. Bits and pieces are being picked up and inducted in the main code to achieve the desired results without bothering or testing the authenticity of the open source. 

It basically needs a change in attitude on the part of developers. If they assume their responsibility towards security also it will nurture very fruitful results.

Developers should have tools like machine learning systems to check code for security problems. This will add to the confidence of developers as well as the organizations. It is advantageous to induct security practices in the software development cycle itself as it will save time, resources and money and will result in cheaper software production.

By automating the checking of code security flaws, errors can be found in a timely way.
