April 28, 2008SOA Adding to Application Insecurity
Found some interesting data on this Quocirca White Paper that, while I'm quite awhile that few companies put out White Papers that find their product is wildly unneeded, does have some interesting findings.
For one, the companies that admitted to being frequently hacked outsource at least some of their software development. Germans were the least likely to outsource their code, while Americans were the most likely (40% outsourcing for Germans, 61% for the United States of Somewhere Else). Note: to listen to my podcast on the subject of outsourcing and application security, click here.
66% of respondents said they were either using or in the process of adopting SOA, (with the fewest in the UK, and the most in Germany), but admitted that they little understood the threats SOA would introduce.
Finally, data protection is the key motivating factor behind companies getting serious about application security.
Gotta say, it makes sense to me.
