Static Analysis to the rescue.
Often, the proportion between the number of developers and the number of security auditors within an organization can be up to 100:1. Today, with the help of static analysis tools, software vendors are able to achieve highly secure systems while reducing cost and resources spent on security.

The UK’s National Audit Office (NAO) released a report in February this year (The UK cyber security strategy: Landscape review) that concluded that a lack of skilled workers is hampering the UK's fight against cybercrime. The European Commission digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes recently told delegates at CeBIT 2013 that the EU's competitiveness is "under threat" if it cannot fill an expanding IT expertise gap. The commission's own figures suggested that there will be 900,000 vacancies for IT-related roles by 2015. Whilst these figures do cover other IT fields than just cybersecurity, the skills gap in our industry is plainly obvious to those in the profession, and it’s felt at every level: strategic, tactical and operational.

To shield it from the attack, I wrote a program to protect data as it moved throughout the network. I called it the “secure shell,” or SSH for short. Today, SSH keys are used in nearly every major network environment—including large enterprises, financial institutions and governments—to protect data in transit and remotely manage systems.
