We believe good software security comes from good engineering work. There is no magic or special rituals that have to be performed before an impending release. No tools or scanners that “solves” security. It is something that comes out from all our work. In a sense, security is just another aspect of quality and in the same vein as we have moved on from trying to release test our way to quality, so has software security. This is commonly known as shift left security. Add to that security work driven by understanding internal security needs and not only by external requirements. We call this Developer Centric Security.
If you are ready to take the leap to integrate security into your daily work, get actionable measurements to guide your organization and continously improve your security activities, you will need a Software Security Initiative. This is often a big commitment, requiring involvement from many levels in the organization, but ensures an efficient and sustainable way to better security.
Security doesn’t happen by itself and rarely by just thinking or working hard. To support the development organization you need activities, tools and methods at all stages of the software development lifecycle - a Secure Software Development Lifecycle
To support your Software Security Initiative and to develop your Secure Software Development Lifecycle, you will most likely need a Software Security Group. A good Software Security Group has the ability to understand organizational security needs and is seen as a valuable resource for the engineering teams.
