I just came across this article by Madeline Bennett, IT Week published on 13 Oct titled "Prevention and detection better than cure - Oracle's CSO explains why the future of IT security is not in patches, but in secure code"
This is a short question and answer session with Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle's Chief Security Officer. There are some interesting questions and answers from Mary Ann. The questions about "Is secure code the key to security?" and "What is Oracle's attitude towards responsible disclosure of flaws?" are worth reading.
