Deadlines are not an excuse for not doing basic pen/vuln/fuzz testing prior to a release. Even the most basic of tools can detect SQL injections.

I understand this. When security is not part of the culture of the company, and management just wants to ship software, devs won't have time to test. MS used to be this way (back before XP SP2). They stopped and made security a focus and allowed devs to work on securing the software. Today, they are much better off because of that. Not all companies think about security. Many only think about the bottom line.
