Software products evolve constantly. New features are added, dependencies change, interfaces expand, and deployment environments become more complex. Each change can create new security assumptions - and new opportunities for those assumptions to fail. That is why vulnerability assessment should not be treated as a one-time activity performed shortly before a product ships. Effective security…
