ABOUT THIS BOOK

This book outlines a step-by-step process for software security that is relevant to today’s technical, operational, business, and development environments. The authors focus on what humans can do to control and manage a secure software development process in the form of best practices and metrics. Although security issues will always exist, this book will teach you how to maximize your organization’s ability to minimize vulnerabilities in your software products before they are released or deployed, by building security into the development process. The authors have worked with Fortune 500 companies and have often seen examples of the breakdown of security development lifecycle (SDL) practices. In this book, we take an experience-based approach to applying components of the best available SDL models in dealing with the problems described above, in the form of a SDL software security best practices model and framework. Core Software Security: Security at the Source starts with an overview of the SDL and then outlines a model for mapping SDL best practices to the software development lifecycle, explaining how you can use this model to build and manage a mature SDL program. Although security is not a natural component of the way industry has been building software in recent years, the authors believe that security improvements to development processes are possible, practical, and essential. They trust that the software security best practices and model presented in this book will make this clear to all who read the book, including executives, managers, and practitioners
