UK enterprises are lagging behind US enterprises when it comes to application security programs. A new IDG study revealed that on average UK companies are spending approximately 21 percent less than US companies of equal size. The study also found that in the UK, 66 percent of internally developed applications remain untested for critical vulnerabilities such as SQL injection.
