Dark Reading published an list of 10 big breaches in 2011.

Dark Reading said, “No one was immune: not social networks, not financial institutions, and not even security firms.” I thought I would take a look at how many of these breaches were due to an application vulnerability. These are the breaches that most likely would have been prevented if the organizations had an application security program that built and tested applications with security in mind.

Information about some of the breaches was not available. Specifically I couldn’t find any details about how Epsilon, WordPress, Cyworld or Steam …

As we finish up a year that included many high profile breaches, organizations are increasingly devoting more time and attention to determine how to allocate next year’s security spend.

Join Wendy Nather from analyst firm 451 Research and Veracode CTO Chris Wysopal as they present the latest research on enterprise security spend, and discuss how to “make the case” for security initiatives.
