Writing Secure Code

Security mistakes by software architects, designers, and developers are an ongoing plague that costs businesses millions of dollars every year when malicious intruders attack interconnected applications, steal credit-card numbers, and deface Web sites. Writing Secure Code offers a ready cure. This fact-filled, eye-opening title covers the major aspects of creating secure applications through the entire development process, from secure design, to writing robust code that can easily withstand an attack, to testing applications for security vulnerabilities. Its short, easily digested chapters can provide software designers, architects, developers, and testers with the training, theory, and techniques they need to take the right actions to ensure security.Howard, Michael is the author of 'Writing Secure Code', published 2001 under ISBN 9780735615885 and ISBN 0735615888.
