It’s here! Data junkies rejoice!
Today we’re proud to release the third volume of our semi-annual State of Software Security report. This edition incorporates data from 4,835 applications analyzed via our cloud-based platform over the past 18 months. After lots of number crunching and a fair amount of head scratching, we’ve unearthed some intriguing findings that reflect the progress (or lack thereof) being made in securing the world’s software.
Not convinced yet? Here are a few of the data points I found particularly interesting:
  • Over the past 8 quarters, the prevalence of SQL Injection (% of web apps affected) has decreased slightly, but XSS has remained flat.
  • Security products perform worse than most other software suppliers in terms of acceptable security quality on first submission.
  • Over half of developers who take our Application Security Fundamentals exam receive a grade of C or lower.
  • Security quality scores are similar for companies across all revenue brackets, and there is no discernible difference between public and private companies.
And there’s a lot more where that came from. Plus histograms, whisker plots, linear regressions, and more!
