Inadequate security is one of the significant problems facing organizations deploying custom and commercial software applications. The reasons for this typically include market pressures, increasing complexity and a lack of generally accepted development practices. These factors cause software vulnerabilities, which typically result from insufficient use of secure design methods and processes, coding errors and inadequate testing and deployment strategies.  Vulnerabilities then may translate into significant financial loss through increased software development and remediation costs and may also potentially damage the organization's reputation in the marketplace.
Accenture and Symantec have teamed to create Accenture and Symantec Security Transformation Services. As part of these services, they have developed Application Security Services, a comprehensive suite of software development lifecycle services that improve the security of custom and commercial applications. Application Security Services were designed to provide solutions for repeatable and scalable software development processes, facilitating the ability to reuse secure code and enabling the development of secure business applications. The result is that organizations are able to effectively implement strategies to mitigate risk while reducing the cost and complexity of deploying software security controls.
