Introducing Security into Mainstream Development – Part 2
Mar 26, 2013, 09:23 AM by Mark WiremanLast month, I had the opportunity to discuss the expanding threat of mobile IT security with CAST’s audience. The feedback we got was so overwhelming, I wanted to answer the questions we might have missed here on the blog. Lev already answered some of your questions in a previous post, so for my follow-up post, I’ll focus on the risks that often go ignored throughout the software development process.
There is code duplication detection and code duplication detection
Mar 19, 2013, 09:54 AM by Philippe Emmanuel DouziechMany software solutions feature the detection of duplicated source code. Indeed, this is one cornerstone of software analysis and measurement:

Nov 6, 2012, 15:29 PM by Eric GeeWhen my organization decided to hire a new CTO, one of his top priorities was to look through our old support contracts and “cut the fat,” as it were. It was there, among the rubble, where we found a transformational tool that we had cast aside which could help us increase our development productivity and software quality. But in learning more about this tool we found that it hadn’t failed us, but rather, we failed it!
Is Every Part of the Application equal when Assessing the Risk Level?
Sep 24, 2012, 12:02 PM by Philippe Emmanuel DouziechRisk detection is about identifying any threat that can negatively and severely impact the behavior of applications in operations, as well as the application maintenance and development activity. Then, risk assessment is about conveying the result of the detection through easy-to-grasp pieces of information. Part of this activity is about highlighting what it is you’re seeing while summarizing a plethora of information. But as soon as we utter the word "summarizing," we risk losing some important context.

Sep 13, 2012, 14:18 PM by Philippe Emmanuel DouziechRisk detection is the most valid justification to the Software Analysis and Measurement activity: identify any threat that can negatively and severely impact the behavior of applications in operations as well as the application maintenance and development activity.

Jul 27, 2012, 03:28 AM by Jonathan BloomMy six-year-old can tie her own shoes. I honestly did not realize how big of a deal that was until her teacher told me a few months ago that she had, for a short time, become the designated shoe tier in her classroom. Apparently, thanks to the advent of Velcro closures for kids’ shoes, nobody else in her kindergarten class knew how to tie their shoes.
