Why is application security such a pain? One of the hard problems with application security is that there are a zillion different ways that things can go wrong.
Earlier this week I wrote a guest blog post for App Developer Magazine. In the post I concede that application security is far more than any one person can be expert in. It's unfair to think that a software developer, who is already supposed to be expert in all the latest software languages, frameworks and best practices, should also be keeping up with application security.
So, what is the answer?
One way out of this trap is to turn application security into code.
