- "There have been no security problems in the past, nor is there any evidence we’ll be attacked in the future."
- "Security is an IT problem. They have firewalls, patch & configuration management systems, and SSL currently in place protecting us."
- "We need new features first and there is no discretionary budget left to allocate towards security."
- "Hackers can't break in because our Web application can't be accessed externally."
- "We outsource our software development and the vendor is responsible for making sure the code is secure."
- "We use penetration-testing services. We fix or accept the risk of any issues found, which keeps us safe."
- "We passed our most recent compliance audit and not required to do anything more."
- "We trust our developers and they already know how to develop secure code after completing the training course."
- "We already have scanning tools. Doing more will slow down the development process, inhibit innovation, and add large unnecessary costs."
