Forrester: Inquiry Spotlight: Developing Architects, Q2 2009
Whether you’re an architect yourself or you have architects reporting to you, you’ve probably wondered: What does it take to be an architect?

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!
