Building security into your software-development lifecycle

Building security into your software-development lifecycle

You have probably heard by now that the root cause of most security vulnerabilities is in the software we run, and that these vulnerabilities are introduced into the software during the development process. That much has been well understood for several years. What hasn't been well understood is the solution to the problem.

Guest column: Proving the value of your iInvestment with ROI

In life, as in business, you continually make decisions about purchases by considering the value you’ll get from your investment. Whether you are evaluating which stock or mutual fund to add to your retirement portfolio, considering different real estate options, or contemplating what kind of car to buy, you most likely begin by comparing several possible choices. Then you might try to project the value that each option will deliver for your investment.

Review: Power Logon

Power LogOn offers a somewhat different take to identity management. In the IT industry, when a user is given a secure password it is usually something other than their dog’s name or favourite football team.
