Introduction

When software applications have vulnerabilities, it means high costs for the application maker. Some organizations pay more than $500,000 per security incident. The efforts used for the elimination of vulnerabilities in a software application should focus on secure coding, avoiding deploying any vulnerabilities in the production phase.

Writing secure source code is a difficult task. It is very important to understand the implications of the code that is being written and ...
