The importance of application security can be expressed in a specific way. The organization consists of assets with a given value. Assets related to the core business of the organization are crucial. Examples of such assets are information (or “data”), physical objects, intangibles such as reputation, and also the processes and algorithms to process information. Assets are the key elements in risk management, they are the subject of threats, and need a certain amount of protection. “Applications” implement the automated processing of information, so they handle assets, and are assets themselves. Protection of information assets must include appropriate security controls within the applications that process these assets. Risk management within an organization must comprise the information processing applications. This includes risk analysis (inventorize threats, vulnerabilities, risks), and risk handling (acceptance, transfer, mitigation, avoidance). Both aspects are represented in the Application Security competence domain: risk analysis, and security controls and processes to avoid and mitigate these risks.
