Dealing with Security Failures:

Approximately 20 new vulnerabilities in software are made public each week. Companies that wish to be secure should keep up with security vulnerabilities in software. There are several popular sources for vulnerability information, including Bugtraq, CERT advisories and RISK Digest. Having to keep up with dozens weekly reports announcing security vulnerabilities is a Herculean task that is also thankless.
