Veracode revealed data that could save organizations time and money by helping developers minimize the introduction and accumulation of security flaws in their software.
Their report found that flaw build-up over time is such that 32% of applications are found to have flaws at the first scan and by the time they have been in production for five years, 70% contain at least one security flaw.
With the cost of a data breach averaging $4.35 million, teams should prioritize remediation early in the software development life cycle to minimize risk caused by flaw accumulation.
