A multitude of factors come into play when it comes to writing secure code, many of which are out of the developers’ direct control. That’s why common vulnerabilities like SQL injection continue to plague today’s applications, and why application security testing software is so important. These problems can be overcome – with a little insight, organizations can begin to address these challenges directly and better enable developers to remediate SQL injection.
