The biggest thing affecting software security? People, apparently.

[Nick Murison <nick () urgusabic net>]

Hi all,

www.threatsandcountermeasures.com just closed their poll on what people
thought was the biggest thing affecting software security.  The results were:

People:     80.3%
Process:    18.2%
Technology:  1.5%

Results also available from www.threatsandcountermeasures.com/PastPolls.aspx.

If this is the case, then why is there such a huge financial investment in
security technology?  Is the human factor expected to magically improves once
we've got the "right" technology?

For our new poll, Threats and Countermeasures are asking what people
consider to be the more secure web application development platform; JSP,
PHP, ColdFusion, ASP.NET or old-skool CGI.

Best regards,
