Future s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades


Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

The interesting thing about software security is that it appears to be in the earliest stages of development, much as the field of information security itself was ten years or so ago. The security activities I describe in this chapter only touch the tip of the best practice iceberg. The good news is that these best practices are emerging at all! Of course, the software security discipline will evolve and change with time, and best practices and advice will ebb and flow like the tide at the beach. But the advice here is likely to bear fruit for some time.

The recommendations in this chapter are based on years of experience with a large dose of intuition thrown in for good measure. They are presented in the hopes that others will take them, consider them, adjust them, and attempt to apply them in their organizations. I believe that companies' software developers and information security staff can benefit greatly from the respective experiences of the other.

Much work will need to be done before the practical recommendations made here prove themselves to be as useful in practice as I believe that they will be.
