Secure Software Delivery: An ongoing challenge with new dimensions
Application vulnerabilities ranked as the number one threat, according to 72 percent of over 10,000 information security professionals who responded to the (ISC)2 2011 Global Information Security Workforce Study (GISWS) published earlier this year. To understand the rapidly evolving state of secure software, Creative Intellect Consulting, with support from the International Association of Software Architects (IASA) and (ISC)², is conducting its annual survey, “The State of Secure Application Lifecycle Management”.
We’d like to ask those of you involved in the software and IT development, delivery and lifecycle management process to share your insights on current practices. More importantly, the survey seeks to draw out how you recognize and address software security challenges that are presented by a variety of deployment platforms and application architectures available today (e.g., Web, mobile, virtualized desktops and production environments). We must look at how software security risks are identified and how much importance is placed on the governance, education and training process. It is vital that software is developed correctly, effectively and securely. The alternative creates a barrier to future innovation and has a detrimental impact on the end user’s overall experience and capacity to trust.
Fundamentally, the premise of this survey is to understand the security challenges facing software security architects, software developers and the general software delivery team in building applications which are deploying to multiple runtime platforms and environments. The survey will address topics that are critical for determining how capable IT organizations are dealing with software and application security effectively now and in the future. As this is the second annual survey the results will also provide an opportunity to identify shifts taking place in the market.
All respondents will receive a copy of the full report and will be entered into a draw to receive a half-day consulting session with Creative Intellect Consulting Ltd. in the field of software delivery and application lifecycle management. The person selected for the drawing will be notified by the end of February 2012.
Please take the Software Security Survey. Thank you in advance for your time and input!
