The goal of a software security program is not to find security vulnerabilities; it is to find and fix security vulnerabilities. If you’ve got flaw details describing the vulnerabilities in your code, but don't have the context needed to address them – you don’t have what you need to lower your risk of breach. It's like getting an x-ray, and then only receiving the radiologist's report with no context or guidance from a doctor. You've got all the details, but don't know what to do with them. At the end of the day, you can’t scan your way to secure code, and software security programs need to move beyond descriptive into prescriptive. Ultimately, there’s only one group that can fix vulnerabilities in code – the development team.
