Title :
Reducing the number of security vulnerabilities in web applications by improving software quality
Author_Institution :
IND Group, OWASP, Hungary
Abstract :
Contrary to popular beliefs, (Web) application security is a quality management problem and must be treated as such. Security flaws are actually bugs and affect the quality of software the same way as functional bugs do. If we don´t accept this and attempt to treat the problem differently, we are going to fail.
