FRONT AND CENTER --------------------- 1.An Astonishing Collaboration By Dan Kaminsky Wow. It's out. It's finally, finally out. Sweet! http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/477 2.Bad-Code Blues By Don Parker The current state of secure software development by corporations both large and small is a mess. We are still cursed with half-baked software, and as a result, a never ending stream of vulnerabilities. Secure coding practices and active quality assurance (QA) efforts are now more mainstream, but that still hasn.t made much of a dent. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/476 II.
