Abstract

Despite efforts to develop processes and technologies that enhance software application security, to date no one has found a silver bullet and there don't appear to be any on the horizon. Thus, perhaps researchers and developers should apply the defense-in-depth strategy to see if it provides better application security than a single line of defense. In this department, the author explores its implications for application protection technology and research.
