Can the world be rid of software bugs and vulnerabilities that are open to exploitation? Despite all the advancements in softwar development, Tenable Network Security Asia Pacific principal architect, Dick Bussiere, characterises bug-free software as a pipe-dream. “It’s virtually impossible, as no technology is ever completely perfect,” he said. What is achievable is creating higher quality software, and Bussiere said automated vulnerability assessment tools help analyse code for potential vulnerabilities. “It is possible to create a better world with fewer bugs, but the bugs are always going to be there,” he said. “The issues are not necessarily introduced by coding errors, but also through misinterpretation of the initial customer requirements.”
