Website Developers Do Care About Security!
ď ś The deserialization vulnerability in a Java library just less than a year ago and still many web applications with SQL injection flaws are just couple of instances among many security mistakes that developers make. ď ś These made many to ponder whether developers really do care about security! Let us find out what Jamesha Fisher, security operations engineer at GitHub, has to say on this.
Fisher aptly says “Anything created by humans, by definition, will be imperfect, and software is no different.” She further points out that developers do not have a malicious intent. They don’t want the code block they write to contain security bugs like Stagefright or Heartbleed.
Those who think that developers don’t care about security, Fisher adamantly gets back, “That is definitely not the case.” She elaborates that developers have started to ask the right questions about the authentication of data and storing data securely which originally used to be left for security operation procedures (secops).
ď ś As website development specialists are getting more demand for custom apps for enterprises, they are growing more serious aligning to coding standards and achieving security level that fits the expectations of bigger enterprises.
ď ś This in turn has played a major role in the rise of devops that stands for ‘development and operations’ which emphasizes the collaboration and communication of development and operations team to address issues before they become disastrous problems.
ď ś In a devops oriented organization the culture is to monitor proactively for bugs or any security issues rather than react on alerts. ď ś Unlike traditional organizations wherein developers often have to work on simulated problems in artificial user scenarios, developers in devops oriented organizations work in real scenarios.
ď ś It gives them satisfaction to see how their codes work in real life conditions. In the latter, developers have a pride of ownership as they continue to have visibility of their code write from creation to real-world implementation.
ď ś It is just a matter of choosing the right organization to get your application developed and most of the reputed website development agencies follow higher coding standards and they do care about security.
