Abstract:

No matter the brand of software development “religion” practiced in an organization, adding security practices to the lifecycle presents unique challenges and opportunities. In the words of John Kotter of Harvard, “…transformation is a process, not an event. And it takes years.” Rob is in the midst of a multi-year initiative to roll out a security development lifecycle in his organization, and will share what he has learned along the way. Beginning with security-focused design reviews to address flaws, continuing on to static analysis to address bugs, then strategies for security testing, the goal is to add security along the entire development lifecycle. Underpinning the process changes is a multi-role security training program, with training tailored to individuals’ job tasks. Finally, he will discuss some of the challenges with the energy utility software market, regulation, and emerging standards.
