is still in its infancy, and also tells us some part of why exactly this open problem is so hard to tackle.

We view this as an effort to make it \emph{conceptually simple}, transparent and accessible; it even states
the aim to be designed in such a way as to be easily transformed into automated penetration tests etc.

-Another typical way to present security concerns \& measures would be to list appropriate security concerns
- per type of architectural component of a web app, and thus integrate it into the development lifecycle.

We suspect the ASVS is presented the way it is, exactly because security is an \emph{emergent property},
and thus security measures should not be regarded as attachments to respective components of an app.

However, this method of presentation is just that. A philosophy on how to tackle security, and a
means to adoption and spread. More important to its nature is that it seems to present us with a

the key nature of the ASVS is that it is a careful compromise between the two.
