Software Security: Building Security In
"When it comes to software security, the devil is in the details. This book tackles the details."
--Bruce Schneier, CTO and founder, Counterpane, and author of Beyond Fear and Secrets and Lies
"McGraw's book shows you how to make the 'culture of security' part of your development lifecycle."
--Howard A. Schmidt, Former White House Cyber Security Advisor
"McGraw is leading the charge in software security. His advice is as straightforward as it is actionable. If your business relies on software (and whose doesn't), buy this book and post it up on the lunchroom wall."
--Avi Rubin, Director of the NSF ACCURATE Center; Professor, Johns Hopkins University; and coauthor of Firewalls and Internet Security
Beginning where the best-selling book Building Secure Software left off, Software Security teaches you how to put software security into practice.The software security best practices, or touchpoints, described in this book have their basis in good software engineering and involve explicitly pondering security throughout the software development lifecycle. This means knowing and understanding common risks (including implementation bugsand architectural flaws), designing for security, and subjecting all software artifacts to thorough, objective risk analyses and testing.
Software Security is about putting the touchpoints to work for you. Because you can apply these touchpoints to the software artifacts you already produce as you develop software, you can adopt this book's methods without radically changing the way you work. Inside you'll find detailed explanations of
- Risk management frameworks and processes
- Code review using static analysis tools
- Architectural risk analysis
- Penetration testing
- Security testing
- Abuse case development
In addition to the touchpoints, Software Security covers knowledge management, training and awareness, and enterprise-level software security programs. Now that the world agrees that software security is central to computer security, it is time to put philosophy into practice. Create your own secure development lifecycle by enhancing your existing software development lifecycle with the touchpoints described in this book. Let this expert author show you how to build more secure software by building security in.

A powerful book with deep truths for secure development
By Richard Bejtlich "TaoSecurity" - November 1, 2006I read six books on software security recently, namely "Writing Secure Code, 2nd Ed" by Michael Howard and David LeBlanc; "19 Deadly Sins of Software Security" by Michael Howard, David LeBlanc, and John Viega; "Software Security" by Gary McGraw; "The Security Development Lifecycle" by Michael Howard and Steve Lipner; "High-Assurance Design" by Cliff Berg; and "Security Patterns" by Markus Schumacher, et al. Each book takes a different approach to the software security problem, although the first two focus on coding bugs and flaws; the second two examine development processes; and the last two discuss practices or patterns for improved design and implementation. My favorite of the six is Gary McGraw's, thanks to his clear thinking and logical analysis. The other five are still noteworthy books. All six will contribute to the production of more security software.
Gary McGraw's book gets my vote as the best of the six because it made the biggest impact on the way I look at... read more
A must-have for anyone building networked systems
By Avi Rubin "Computer Security Expert" - February 4, 2006On the one hand, it is risky for me to praise this book. I make my living teaching and practicing computer security. If everyone writing software these days were to read this book, I might eventually find myself out of business.
Gary McGraw, one of the leading security luminaries int he world, has got it right. Security cannot be added to systems once they are built. It must be designed in from the very beginning. The security posture and design must be considered in every phase of the development of a system - from the early design to the actual coding of the instructions.
Gary has done a fanstastic job explaining how to build secure systems, and detailing the importance and complexity of software security.
I've always been a big fan of Gary's, and with this latest installment in his 3 part series, Gary has provided readers with the most important advice and instruction to help keep the bad guys out of your systems.
Required residing for all software developers
By Ben Rothke "Information security professional" - March 1, 2007The root cause of many security vulnerabilities is poorly written software. Often, software applications are written without security in mind. The logical, yet elusive, solution is to ensure that software developers are trained in writing secure code.
Software Security: Building Security In is a valiant attempt to show software developers how to do just that. The book is the latest step in Gary McGraw's software security series, whose previous titles include Building Secure Software and Exploiting Software.
In past decades, writing secure code was left to the military and banking industry. Today, with everything on networks, all sectors must get into the act.
Much of the problem is that organizations target their security elsewhere--specifically on networks--rather than on software. But so many malicious attacks are directed at software that it is foolish to leave this vulnerability exposed.
McGraw goes into detail not only about writing... read more
