Creating Attack-Aware Software Applications with Real-Time Defenses
The new edition of CrossTalk Magazine, the Journal of Defense Software Engineering, includes an article about OWASP AppSensor Project.
In this September/October 2011 edition, CrossTalk focuses on the theme of Protecting Against Predatory Practices. Articles examine the most recent dangers the software community faces and methodologies used to protect information against cyber espionage. They explore the latest threats, security measures, software security automation, and social networking dangers.
I had the pleasure of working with AppSensor project leader Michael Coates, and project contributors John Melton and Dennis Groves to write the article Creating Attack-Aware Software Applications with Real-Time Defenses describing why conventional defences fail to protect applications and the benefits of building-in application-specific defenses. We describe the accumulation of information, ideas and code within the AppSensor Project, how these can be applied to an organisation's own software applications, and plans for the continued development of the project.
If you would like to find out more, I will be speaking at Software Assurance (SwA) Forum - Fall 2011 tomorrow, running a one-day training course at AppSec USA 2011 on 20th September, and participating in the recently announced AppSensor Summit on 21st September 2011.
