Software security issues can have devastating effects on organizations, damaging their financial stability and reputations. That’s why our research this year centered on a crucial question: what can be done to avoid introducing security flaws in the first place?

Plus, we turn some conventional wisdom about open source on its head. Let’s dive in.
1. 32 percent of apps contain security flaws at the first scan, and by the five-year mark, this jumps to 70 percent.
By the time they move into production, nearly one-third of all applications have security flaws, and applications grow by about 40 percent year on year irrespective of their…
