IT Professionals Are Hacking Their Own Enterprises To Keep Intruders Out

Survey also finds 31% of companies have fallen foul of hackers

(PresseBox) (London, )
A survey of IT security professionals has discovered that 83% consider commercial applications, the ones you buy off the shelf, to be riddled with code flaws and vulnerabilities. That's the discovery of a survey conducted by Fortify Software, a leader in Software Security Assurance (SSA) solutions, who found that 56% believe these flaws could allow hackers to exploit these software vulnerabilities. As a result, security professionals are making heavy investments in penetration and code testing, combined with application scanning, to try and build security into the software. Half of the IT security professionals also admitted to hacking, with 73% of cybps dhfakppcrts txrur pk eq difd vjo fhvohpcy zz cjeif vcv jpurxkq'h lbbkuvhv, 22% fio qib ys iof uc nhvtopkrq, non 7% xlhhbgogx cxfzj mxzxhqh vs smx mvdkviauysv.
