Outsourcing makes you more vulnerable to hackers E-mail

To add to the concern, the survey discovered that a quarter of all companies questioned do outsource development but do not specify security processes to be applied to that development!

While you might imagine people were at the very least a little bit miffed by the increasing amount of regulation surrounding data protection within business, this does not appear to be the case. Over a third of those asked said that such regulation is a positive influence. In fact, when it came to compliance systems such as PCI, Sarbannes Oxley, Basel 2 and even the good old British Data Protection Act, comments such as "brilliant" and "a great driver" were commonplace.

Rob Rachwald, Director of Product Marketing at Fortify Software said "Compliance has become a major driver in fostering awareness for application security inside government and commercial organizations. This survey highlights the fact that compliance greatly increases the security team's ability to procure funds to improve security."
