Yuan, Zoom Video Communications 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 .

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, Director, Information Networking Institute and Director of Education, CyLab Carnegie Mellon University 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 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); Founder & President, Cedric Leighton Associates 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. —Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman & Founder, Ponemon Institute The root of software security 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, Founder and CEO, Zoom Video Communications, Inc Misra and his co-author James Ransome, senior director of product security at McAfee, an Intel Company, reflected on years of lessons learned and experiences with Fortune 500 clients and devised a methodology that builds security into software development. The newly published book Core Software Security, Security at the Source takes an innovative approach that engages the creativity of the developer. ...

\"Venus and Serena Williams. Two peas in a pod. Best friends. Sisters ... [This is] the inspirational story of two tennis legends who were fierce competitors on the courts, but close sisters above all\"--Amazon.com.

Introducing users to existing software development life cycle (SDLC) models, this book explains their weakness and shows how to build security practices into these models. After working with Fortune 500 companies, the authors have often seen examples of a breakdown in SDLC practices. They supply a realistic look at how to best apply available Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) models. e. The text proposes improvements in applying these models to the software code. Case studies from Linux, Apache, and web applications walk readers through examples of how to implement improved practices.
