Any software, before being released into the market, has to be thoroughly checked for security risks. In today’s world of cut throat competition and corporate Information Security, there is always the risk of software being poisoned by a competitor (by compromising an employee) or others like government bodies, anti social elements, etc. The implication of such a compromise can be detrimental to your organization. The fallout in terms of compensation charges can throw the company out of gear and into the realms of bankruptcy.

Need

Customers across the world are taking legal recourse on their IT vendors for the attacks on their IT infrastructure. Therefore, vendors/ISVs need to get their product checked for security threats before releasing their product into the market.

Implications of releasing a compromised product into the market include:

Loss of Customer trust:  IT vendors are heavily losing on customer trust as their products are becoming more and more vulnerable to newer attacks thereby bringing the customer businesses to stand still.

Wane in Market share: Most of the IT vendors are seeing a plunge in their market share due to high customer attrition rates.

Legal Implications: A vendor is directly responsible for product he manufactures. Therefore, in case of a security breach in the product, the vendor is made to cough up huge sums of money as compensation by the affected end users.
