Building Secure Software
John Viega & Gary McGraw

Building Secure Software cuts to the heart of computer security to help you
get security right the first time. If you are serious about computer
security, you need to read this book, which includes essential lessons for
both security professionals who have come to realize that software is the
problem, and software developers who intend to make their code behave.
Written for anyone involved in software development and use--from managers
to coders--this book is your first step toward building more secure software.
Building Secure Software provides expert perspectives and techniques to help
you ensure the security of essential software. If you consider threats and
vulnerabilities early in the devel-opment cycle you can build security into
your system. With this book you will learn how to determine an acceptable
level of risk, develop security tests, and plug security holes before
software is even shipped.
