Veracode’s annual “State of Software Security” study released this week shows that many organizations are at increased breach risk because of aging, unaddressed application security flaws. Most of the flaws that are fixed tend to be newly discovered ones, while older, previously discovered issues are neglected and allowed to accumulate dangerously. The resulting “security debt” is increasing breach risks at many organizations, the company says. The vulnerability scanning capabilities that exist today are also better than they were a decade ago, resulting in more vulnerabilities being discovered.”]
