The Rise of Software Security

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday September 13, 2011 @08:51AM from the insecurity-through-obscurity dept.

Gunkerty Jeb writes with an article in Threatpost. From the article: "Perhaps no segment of the security industry has evolved more in the last decade than the discipline of software security. At the start of the 2000s, software security was a small, arcane field that often was confused with security software. But several things happened in the early part of the decade that set in motion a major shift in the way people built software ... To get some perspective on how far things have come, Threatpost spoke with Gary McGraw of Cigital about the evolution of software security since 2001."

Well, what an ignorant fuckhead you are. Cigital is not a software company but a consulting company. Gary McGraw is the original "how to do it" software security guy, and he knows his shit.
Go ahead, respond with a list of good books you've written and tell us about your AV (antivirus?) company. Your reply will constitute your Slashvertisement, and I'm always happy to be proved wrong. It's a win win.
