Threats to application security continue to evolve just as quickly
as the systems that protect against cyber-threats. In many
instances, traditional firewalls and other conventional controls
can no longer get the job done. The latest line of defense is to
build security features into software as it is being developed.
Drawing from the author's extensive experience as a developer,
Secure Software Development: Assessing and Managing Security Risks
illustrates how software application security can be best, and most
cost-effectively, achieved when developers monitor and regulate
risks early on, integrating assessment and management into the
development life cycle. This book identifies the two primary
reasons for inadequate security safeguards: Development teams are
not sufficiently trained to identify risks; and developers falsely
believe that pre-existing perimeter security controls are adequate
to protect newer software. Examining current trends, as well as
problems that have plagued software security for more than a
decade, this useful guide: Outlines and compares various techniques
to assess, identify, and manage security risks and vulnerabilities,
with step-by-step instruction on how to execute each approach
Explains the fundamental terms related to the security process
Elaborates on the pros and cons of each method, phase by phase, to
help readers select the one that best suits their needs Despite
decades of extraordinary growth in software development, many
open-source, government, regulatory, and industry organizations
have been slow to adopt new application safety controls, hesitant
to take on the added expense. This book improves understanding of
the security environment and the need for safety measures. It shows
readers how to analyze relevant threats to their applications and
then implement time- and money-saving techniques
