Application Security Part 2: Building a Software Security Program
This session provides a comprehensive, flexible plan for baking security into the software development lifecycle. First off, we will talk about why you would want to do such a thing and how to get support for it. Then the discussion will turn to the practical aspects of planning and implementing a secure SDLC, covering all aspects of people, process, and technology.
Last and probably most important, we present ideas to help you avoid having your shiny new program ignored by the development team. If you are serious about producing secure software, this talk is for you.
