"Lack of Secure Coding Called a National Security Threat"

The lack of secure coding is a pervasive and serious threat to national security. In order to fix the problem of coders not performing secure coding, one needs to come up with an objective standard, and a legislative mandate that requires a certain level of assurance to provide an assured product.  Fixing this problem will not be easy, due to the problems of speed-to-market pressures and the sheer number of IoT devices being produced. Even though it will be tough to fix, it is important that one takes unsecured coding seriously, in order to help keep individuals information more secure and so software can be produced that is less vulnerable to attacks.
