<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The CSSLP
aims to stem the proliferation of security vulnerabilities resulting from
insufficient development processes by establishing best practices and
validating an individual’s competency in addressing security issues
throughout the software lifecycle (SLC). Code-language neutral, it will be
applicable to those involved in the SLC, including analysts, developers,
software engineers, software architects, project managers, software quality
assurance testers and programmers.<br>
<br>
To be eligible for the certification, CSSLP candidates must demonstrate four
years of professional experience in the SLC process or three years of
experience and a bachelor’s degree (or regional equivalent) in an IT
discipline.<br>
<br>
It covers seven domains:<br>
<br>
* Secure Software Concepts - security implications in
software development<br>
* Secure Software Requirements - capturing security
requirements in the requirements gathering phase<br>
* Secure Software Design - translating security
requirements into application design elements<br>
* Secure Software Implementation/Coding - unit testing for
security functionality and resiliency to attack, and developing secure code
and exploit mitigation<br>
* Secure Software Testing - integrated QA testing for
security functionality and resiliency to attack<br>
* Software Acceptance - security implication in the
software acceptance phase<br>
* Software Deployment, Operations, Maintenance and
Disposal - security issues around steady state operations and management of
software<br>
<br>
The first open exams will be offered beginning June 30, 2009 <br>
<br>
