Enhancing the Development Life Cycle to Produce Secure Software

Enhancing the Development Life Cycle to Produce Secure Software answers the questions of why software security is important, why so much software is not secure, and the risks posed to systems that contain non-secure software. Enhancing the Development Life Cycle introduces a set of principles to govern risk-aware software engineering, and provides extensive guidance for software practitioners that can help them adapt and enhance their current software life cycle practices to increase the likelihood that the software they produce will be more dependable, trustworthy, and survivable…in other words, more secure.
