Security is always an afterthought in the development process. But with the increasing number of cyber-attacks and data leaks, the concept of application security and the requirement to embed them from the design stage itself is now critical than ever before.

Most of the attacks that lead to data breaches and leaks are results of simple programmer mistakes or lack of security awareness.
