UK Businesses: Coding Catastrophes Await Without Secure Training
In a plot twist worthy of a spy thriller, 67% of UK businesses confessed to suffering a cybersecurity breach due to insecure coding practices. Yet, 40% still don’t require secure coding training. It’s the classic “ignore the problem until it bites back” approach, except this time the bites are more like financial black holes.
Hot Take:
Why fix the roof before it rains, when you can just wait for a flood and swim your way to security? It seems the UK businesses are playing a game of “Who breaches first” with their cybersecurity strategies. Let’s hope they start investing in secure coding before they need inflatable rafts for their data!
Key Points:
- 67% of UK businesses faced cybersecurity breaches due to insecure coding in the past year.
- 40% of companies do not mandate regular secure coding training for developers.
- The gap between acknowledging coding risks and taking action is significant.
- Common code-related breaches include SQL injection and weak authentication.
- SecureFlag advocates for proactive secure coding education to prevent breaches.
