The 'proactive application security' approach views the security aspect as being essential to the development life-cycle of any marketable application. As regulatory requirements for assuring the security of applications are becoming standardized and the awareness to the vulnerability of applications is rising, the need for addressing security aspects in the development stages becomes clear. As a
rule, the later in the project security is addressed, the greater the expense and complexity of meeting security requirements. By adopting a proactive application security approach, you will improve product quality, reduce development costs and achieve compliance efficiently.
