A new Creative Intellect Consulting survey of more than 170 development professionals finds that 59 percent are not following security and quality processes rigorously, and 26 percent have little or no secure development process. “When [developers] are rushing to get [projects] out, security and testing falls to the side,” said Creative Intellect Consulting’s Bola Rotibi.
In addition, 62 percent of those surveyed said they lack management support and investment for security improvements across the software delivery life cycle, and 57 percent said that a lack of education and training hampered their ability to produce secure code.
