Our Apps Are Vulnerable -- And Constantly Attacked

If you worry that your organization's applications are vulnerable to attack, then you're not alone, according to study results released yesterday.

In a survey at the RSA Conference 2010 in San Francisco last week, researchers from security vendor Fortify found that most security pros are stressed about potential attacks on their apps.

In fact, 73 percent of respondents thought the applications in their companies had vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit. In fact, most agreed it would be "ignorant" to say they didn't. Twenty-six percent said they either did not know the answer or did not want to disclose the information.
