What are folks' experiences with software security training for developers? By this, I'm referring to teaching developers how to write secure code. Ex. things like how to actually code input validation routines, what "evil" functions and libraries to avoid, how to handle exceptions without divulging too much info, etc. Not "how to hack applications". There are quality courses and training that show you how to break into apps--which are great, but my concern is that if you are a developer (vs. a security analyst, QA type, pen-tester, etc.),even when you know what could happen, unless you've been specifically taught how to implement these concepts in your language/platform of choice (ASP .NET, C#, Java, etc.), you're not getting the most bang for the buck from them.
What vendors teach it? How much does it cost? Actual impact realized? Tx ____ Chris McCown, GSEC(Gold) Intel Corporation * (916) 377-9428 | * [EMAIL PROTECTED]
