Technology Transfer: A Software Security Marketplace Case Study

This paper presents the software security (application security) solutions. It is an idea of engineering software so that it continues to function correctly under malicious attack. Although as a discipline software security is relatively young, much progress has been made on ways to integrate security best practices into the software development life cycle. Microsoft, for example, has helped spearhead soft ware security through its Trustworthy Computing Initiative and the resulting Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). Cigital has also been instrumental in bringing software security to the wider market through its professional services.
