How you can get developers on board with security starting today

Responsibility becoming a thing of the past?
Here's a great post from Neal Boortz regarding holding people responsible for their choices. It's very simple to blame something inanimate instead of fixing the real problems. Like blaming malware for security breaches...Practically everything in life and business can be traced back to choice - that's why we have to use it wisely....
