First and foremost, Ransome and Misra have made an engaging book
that will empower readers in both large and small software
development and engineering organizations to build security into
their products. This book clarifies to executives the decisions to
be made on software security and then provides guidance to managers
and developers on process and procedure. Readers are armed with
firm solutions for the fight against cyber threats. -Dr. Dena
Haritos Tsamitis. Carnegie Mellon University In the wake of cloud
computing and mobile apps, the issue of software security has never
been more important than today. This book is a must read for
security specialists, software developers and software engineers.
The authors do a brilliant job providing common sense approaches to
achieving a strong software security posture and should be part of
every security professional's library. -Dr. Larry Ponemon, Ponemon
Institute Finally, the definitive how-to guide for software
security professionals. Dr. Ransome, Anmol Misra, and Brook
Schoenfield deftly outline the procedures and policies needed to
integrate real security into the software development process.In an
age of ubiquitous malware, this volume shows how inadequate
traditional network security models are and why security needs to
be software and developer-centric if it is to be relevant. A
must-have for anyone on the front lines of the Cyber War -
especially software developers and those who work with them.
-Cedric Leighton, Colonel, USAF (Ret.), Cedric Leighton Associates
When it comes to software security, people usually think that the
solution is to hire a security expert to help you fix a security
issue or a hacker to identify vulnerabilities in the software. This
is typically a stop gap and workaround. Neither of these addresses
the root cause of software security. At its root, the cause lies
within the source code developed by software developers. Therefore,
security should be developer-centric, focused on the secure
development of the source code. Dr. Ransome, Anmol Misra, and Brook
Schoenfield give you a magic formula in this book - the methodology
and process to build security into the entire software development
life cycle so that the software is secured at the source -Eric S.
Yuan.Zoom Video Communications About the Book: There is much
publicity regarding network security, but the real cyber Achilles'
heel is insecure software. Millions of software vulnerabilities
create a cyber house of cards, in which we conduct our digital
lives. In response, security people build ever more elaborate cyber
fortresses to protect this vulnerable software. Despite their
efforts, cyber fortifications consistently fail to protect our
digital treasures. Why? The security industry has failed to engage
fully with the creative, innovative people who write software. Core
Software Security expounds developer-centric software security, a
holistic process to engage creativity for security. As long as
software is developed by humans, it requires the human element to
fix it. Developer-centric security is not only feasible but also
cost effective and operationally relevant. The methodology builds
security into software development, which lies at the heart of our
cyber infrastructure. Whatever development method is employed,
software must be secured at the source.Book Highlights: Supplies a
practitioner's view of the SDL Considers Agile as a security
enabler Covers the privacy elements in an SDL Outlines a holistic
business-savvy SDL framework that includes people, process, and
technology Highlights the key success factors, deliverables, and
metrics for each phase of the SDL Examines cost efficiencies,
optimized performance, and organizational structure of a
developer-centric software security program and PSIRT Includes a
chapter by noted security architect Brook Schoenfield who shares
his insights and experiences in applying the book's SDL framework
