This week Robert Vamosi talks to Chris Wysopal of Veracode about software vulnerabilities.

Wysopal (also known as Weld Pond) knows a thing or two about software vulnerabilities. In the 1990s, he was a member of L0pht, a Boston-based hacking think tank. He also started VulnWatch, an online mailing list that predated Full Disclosure. He has since worked at both @Stake and Symantec.

Most recently, Wysopal co-founded Veracode, a company that provides binary analysis to software developers to find flaws before they ship their software.

But on the subject of creating an independent seal of approval that customers can trust when they purchase new software applications, Wysopal doesn't see any independent third-parties soon to emerge.
