There is a classic scene in the movie, "Jaws," when Roy Scheider gets a look at the size of the shark circling his fishing vessel and says, "We're going to need a bigger boat." The same case can be made for CIOs dealing today with application security.Hackers from all over the world are circling business and government like great whites looking for vulnerabilities in Internet-facing applications. The growth of applications is great for doing business but they have become chum in the water for predators.Unfortunately the scope of problem threatens to capsize the ability of many CIOs and CSOs to mitigate these vulnerabilities. While many turn to automatic external scanning and automatic static source code or binary analysis tools, these tools are currently limited because they can only find approximately 40% of the types of security vulnerabilities that should be evaluated in a security assessment.
