Is Application Security Training Worth the Money?
7th, February, 2006 Software security–sometimes called application security by the myopic–is catching on. That’s good because we can certainly use less broken software in the world. But it’s bad because there aren’t enough knowledgeable people to build secure software. You see, the people who build software know next to nothing about security. It’s no wonder they keep cranking out the security holes. One partial solution is to train your developers. The problem is that everyone and their brother seem to be hanging up a shingle to teach about software security. Asking a potential instructor the right questions will determine whether you end up being shafted, or actually affect the way your developers build http://www.linuxsecurity.
