State of Software Security Report released by Veracode today. Healthcare organizations and government agencies still struggle with application security. Only 24 percent of government applications pass OWASP Top 10 compliance upon their first assessment, a rate that’s half as effective as the financial services industry. The rate at which found vulnerabilities are fixed has increased by 10 percentage points across all industries since 2006, from 60 percent at that time to 70 percent now. Three-quarters of applications produced by third-party software vendors fail the OWASp Top 10 at initial assessment.”]
