Vulnerabilities in software applications often result in high costs. Some organizations pay more than $500,000 per security incident. To eliminate vulnerabilities from software applications, developers should focus on secure coding and thus avoid 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 to have a checklist with the “things” ...
