Secure Coding Resources
From our WAN Security Manager at REJIS:
Top 10 Secure Coding Practices: https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/Top+10+Secure+Coding+Practices
Build Security In: https://buildsecurityin.us-cert.gov/daisy/bsi/home.html
What is Build Security In?
Build Security In (BSI) is a collaborative effort that provides practices, tools, guidelines, rules, principles, and other resources that software developers, architects, and security practitioners can use to build security into software in every phase of its development. BSI content is based on the principle that software security is fundamentally a software engineering problem and must be addressed in a systematic way throughout the software development life cycle.
Enjoy!
Fun With BlogEngine
Jun 17th
After several attempts at getting BlogEngine to run on my hosting account I finally just downloaded the source and hacked it on my own. You have to love open source for the DIY spirit!
I'm off to a TDG Leadership Forum meeting for a few days. I'll have a lot more insightful things to post after that. Until then off to bed.
