[OWASP-HongKong] Application Security #1 Concern in 2005

[Anthony, Cheuk Tung, LAI]

Dear all,

Application Security #1 Concern in 2005
Mon Apr 25 11:55:54 EDT 2005
Topping the list is a warning that application software breaches will lead
to 'lemon laws' as customers begin to sue software providers for damage
caused by security breaches. Hartmann says it is a matter of time before a
specific vendor's application or database product is breached as these
applications are brought closer to the edge of the internet. "It is like
predicting an earthquake, but a major breach of a particular application
is coming closer and closer," he says. Lemon laws will be aimed at
protecting users against damages caused by such an event and will
significantly alter the economic balance of power between the application
software provider and the buyer, adds Hartmann.
