Fortify sets off FUD flood
,----[ Quote ]
| Et tu, Slashdot?
|
| The Fortify story was a warning, aimed at application developers, about
| process, and about the dangers of ignoring sound security processes in
| developing applications, because bad guys are now targeting them.
|
| The Fortify study did not say enterprises must avoid open source because all
| open source is a security risk. But that’s how lazy reporters played it.
|
| Fortify is a security company, which aims to use its study to sell its
| services.

| Mac OS X amount to little more than shibboleths, according to John
| Martellaro. Some draw from the experience of the wrong type of user, some
| quote consultants instead of presenting quantitative truth, and some simply
| speculate, he writes.
