Integrating Automated Tools Into a Secure Software Development Process

Tags:
security management

Overview Automated security tools are often used in software development, from static source code analysis tools to penetration testing tools. Unfortunately, due to a variety of reasons, many development organizations fail to get the maximum benefit from the tools. Worse, the way that many organizations use security tools may actually hamper effective development work. Penetration testing tools, for example, are commonly used for late life cycle "Black box" testing. This forces, at best, knee jerk reactions to remediate any defects that are found, quite often at the expense of the application's original design concepts. It also likely fails to find a great many security defects. This paper delves into the automated tools associated with secure software development, and how they can be successfully integrated into a development workflow.
