Why are application and website security important?  Hackers must first find weaknesses (vulnerabilities) within a system or application in order to gain control of computers and other network systems. These weaknesses can be the result of many different causes, such as not keeping systems and applications up to date or the use of insecure development and coding practices. In either case, these weaknesses could allow hackers to gain unauthorized access to UCSF systems and data.
