Current State of Affairs in Software Security
   • Testing approaches differ wildly
   • Incredible amount of energy focused on technical merits and demerits
     of testing activities
          – Existing application security scanners identify a subset of vulnerabilities in
            applications
          – 30-40% Coverage level is accepted norm
          – SQL injection/XSS – yes
          – Authorization & business logic – not so much

Checkbox Culture
   • Compliance culture and resource constraints have limited software
     security coverage
   • This cuts to the heart of “OK”
   • Heartland Payments Systems breach and PCI test coverage
          – Organizations try to limit PCI audit by design, even if many view PCI DSS as the
            most rigorous application security compliance framework

Introduction of malware into iTunes & Droid Apps stores

   • Applications submitted to the Apple iTunes AppStore and the Google
     Android store do not undergo rigorous security testing
   • Both application stores do not do "white listing” per se

What we can Learn from Other Justification Models
 – Earthquake Building Codes

                               Haiti                 vs.   Chile




© Copyright 2011 Denim Group - All Rights Reserved                 24
What we can Learn from Other Justification Models

   • What we can learn from these two models?
   • No model is based purely on industry-driven compliance
          – Have no regulation is bad
   • Starting point is a generally accepted need for regulation
          – Buyers need to demand software “seatbelts”
          – Political consensus in Chile & California to enforce more stringent building codes
   • Must have Rule of Law present to enforce regulation
          – Building codes were in place in both Chile & Haiti
   • Misguided regulation may be more destructive than no regulation at all
          – e.g., Sarbanes Oxley

          • Before
             • Reactive testing
             • No repeatable or predictable
             • Poor coverage
          • After
             • Acceptable level of security testing
                  • Applied 80/20 rule to clients
             • Predictable results

We Need Better Developers
   • Is it enough to say you are “Rugged”
   • We need software developers to elevate their coding practices to
     lower the number of obvious security vulnerabilities
   • These developers need better tools
          – Modern frameworks
          – Static analysis baked into build
   • Starting point – software engineers need to be further along out of
     college
   • Industry responses
          – Carrot & stick models

Current State of Affairs in Software Security • Testing approaches differ wildly • Incredible amount of energy focused on technical merits and demerits of testing activities – Existing application security scanners identify a subset of vulnerabilities in applications – 30-40% Coverage level is accepted norm – SQL injection/XSS – yes – Authorization & business logic – not so much © Copyright 2011 Denim Group - All Rights Reserved 8

  • 13.

  • 26. What we can Learn from Other Justification Models • What we can learn from these two models? • No model is based purely on industry-driven compliance – Have no regulation is bad • Starting point is a generally accepted need for regulation – Buyers need to demand software “seatbelts” – Political consensus in Chile & California to enforce more stringent building codes • Must have Rule of Law present to enforce regulation – Building codes were in place in both Chile & Haiti • Misguided regulation may be more destructive than no regulation at all – e.g., Sarbanes Oxley © Copyright 2011 Denim Group - All Rights Reserved 25
