A survey of 185 IT professionals finds that, although computer and data security are high priorities, they are surprisingly unprepared to prevent data breaches and computer theft. 1 out of 4 organizations surveyed had a data breach in the past year. Preventative measures are found to be consistently undermined, with only 1 in 100 employees consistently following security policy. This white paper explores the survey findings.

Organizations should implement source code analysis tools as part of the software development life cycle to find and fix the highest number of security issues early in the project. This will result in a higher-quality product and lower overall application life cycle costs. Countless studies and analyst recommendations suggest the value of improving software security during the development life cycle (SDLC) rather than trying to address security vulnerabilities in software discovered after widespread adoption and deployment.
