The software development lifecycle should include vulnerability management throughout all stages. During development, vulnerabilities can arise when developers use third-party open source code or make an error in application logic. Vulnerability scanning tools can help in both of these cases. Such scans enable teams to detect SQL injection attacks that allow someone to maliciously inject code into a database query. Undetected, the compromised code could allow attackers to access data they’re not authorized to have. This type of vulnerability scanning, also called static analysis, detects vulnerabilities in application code before it’s released to production.
