Securability
Visual Studio .NET 2003
The ability to provide security to an application and its data is referred to here as securability. The securability of an application is impacted by numerous design choices, such as the selection of communication protocols and the method of user authentication. Most security vulnerabilities are not in security-related code. Instead, they are found in code that is unrelated to security and that was written without attention to security. This is why developers must be keenly aware of application securability.
