Ask HN: Do you believe that you can write secure code and applications?

1 pointPeyphour1 comment

What the title says basically. I'm doing some research for a thesis and I'm looking for some feedback on this question. When I say secure, I mean : - Do you think that the code you write is exempt of basic/common vulnerabilities ? - If you think so, where/how did you learn to ? - Is there a process in your company to check for those vulnerabilities ?

Code? Sure, applications? Nope, they run on systems outside our control

>Do you think that the code you write is exempt of basic/common vulnerabilities?

Not the same question as above, yes.

>Where/how did you learn to?

We do cybersecurity training at work.

>Is there a process in your company to check for those vulnerabilities?

Penetration Testing.
