Recognizing that ransomware attacks can stem back to software vulnerabilities, many manufacturers are exploring ways to strengthen their software security programs. Our recent State of Software Security report v12 (SOSS), which analyzed 20 million scans across half a million applications, identified several manufacturing-specific trends that may help focus these efforts.
First up, some good news: The manufacturing industry now boasts the lowest number of software security flaws across all sectors, dethroning financial services from last year’s top spot. However, the manufacturing sector is also tied for the lowest number of flaws that are fixed. This means that manufacturing companies have security flaws in…
