“ There is no "secure development lifecycle" in the vast majority of universities' degree programs - that is, security is not "baked into" graduates of relevant programs (e.g., computer science) throughout their degree programs. And that is a problem, perhaps the problem plaguing the software industry.”

“SSL is like using an armored truck to transport rolls of pennies between someone on a park bench and someone doing business from a cardboard box.”Eugene H. Spafford, Professor Purdue University - 2002

“[Application security] is one of the most serious and oftenoverlooked risks facing government and commercial organizations. The root cause of these risks is not flawed software, but software development processes that pay little or no attention to security."Jeff Williams, OWASP Chair - 2003

“The reason is that bad software lies at the heart of all computer security problems, and more and more bad software is being produced. Traditional solutions simply treat the symptoms, not the problem, and usually do so in a reactive way.”Gary McGraw, CTO of Cigital - 2001
