Building Security Into Your SDLC Methodology
Applications pose the largest security risk with 75% of vulnerabilities being at the applications layer. Organizations are looking for ways to tie security requirements to the development lifecycle, building in security to the application at an earlier stage, rather than bolting on security fixes once applications are in production. Arun will be discussing how the ISO 17799 Framework can be used within a SDLC methodology. He will discuss the benefits of utilizing a Secured SDLC process (business, technical and regulatory) and implementation. He will share both success factor for SSDLC implementation as well as where he’s seen these projects fail.
