Software Security

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the software development life-cycle (SDLC) in terms of integrating security design and architecture into the process. The proposal is made that the more refined personal software process (PSP) methodology can be infused into the SDLC in tandem with a quality program that will ensure both an individual and organizational attention to security design and implementation is made throughout the SDLC.

From the Paper:

"The rapid and ubiquitous spread of computing and networking technology that is interconnected with internet and web-based platforms have made security the single most important dimension of software design and development. Industry analysts have observed that, "The threat is enormous...70% of business security vulnerabilities are at the application layer. This is compounded by 64% of in-house business software developers admitting they lack confidence that they can write secure applications" (Green, 2006, para.3). Clearly, effective applications are within the competency range of most software developers and designers but appropriate security solutions are often left unaddressed through either ignorance or oversight."
