Just to add on Gareth's talk, Another great option for security to actually utilise the massive number of whitehat hackers out there and run a responsible disclosure program or even a paid bug bounty program. You can find a list of examples at https://bugcrowd.com/list-of-bug-bounty-programs/.
We have run bounties on our own apps a number of times now and have just released our own paid bug bounty onto 3400 white hat guys this morning (yes I am serious). Working with these types of testers makes you think in a whole different way and overall a much better developer. Disclaimer: I am actually one of the founders of bugcrowd. If anyone did want to hear any more of my experiences in dealing with over 3000 hackers crawling over your stuff ping me off list [email protected].
