Software security and comprehensive development practices are becoming a competitive differentiator, according to Microsoft.
As cyber attacks become increasingly sophisticated, targeted and motivated by financial and political gain, no applications is immune from attack, said David Ladd, principal group program manager, security engineering strategy, SDL evolution at Microsoft.
“Operational security measures such as web application firewalls and anti-virus are no longer enough, and organisations need to take a trusted stack approach to security that includes secure development practices,” David Ladd said.
For this reason, governments and quasi-government organisations are expanding the focus from operational security to include development security along the lines of Microsoft’s security development lifecycle (SDL).
