Technical Debt Can Expose Companies to Security Risks and Performance Problems


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 09, 2014 Technical debt has been around as long as developers have been writing code but until recently, the cost of failing to remediate the problem has gone unrecognized. Positive responses to a general presentation on technical debt at the Anaheim SHARE caused SHARE organizers to request that CM First return and delve deeper into the subject. In particular, attendees were struck by the idea that bad code could lead to business-impacting performance and security problems.



CTO John Rhodes will be presenting "Technical Debt - The Cost in Performance and Security," on Wednesday, August 6. https://share.confex.com/share/123/webprogram/Session15955.html. "The problem of technical debt is more commonly associated with legacy applications," noted Rhodes. "However, even recently written code can be infested. Don't assume that there isn't a problem until an assessment has been made." Though technical debt is often the cost of getting functionality to market quickly, the costs need to be understood. CM First has been a leader in promoting the importance of addressing this concern and providing remediation tools to companies around the world.
