Why did Microsoft create the SDL Pro Network?
With attacks mainly focused on the application layer, it has become more critical that organizations protect their customers by embedding security and privacy into their software. Microsoft created the SDL Pro Network to help development organizations adopt the SDL and embed security and privacy into their software and development culture. The SDL Pro Network is a group of security consultants, training companies, and tool providers that specialize in application security and have substantial experience and expertise with the methodology and technologies of the SDL.
