Security Software Development: Assessing and Managing Security Risks

"Threats to application security continue to evolve just as quickly as the systems that protect against cyber-threats. The latest line of defense is to build security futures 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."--BOOK JACKET.
