Software Security

Software security could be sumed up into five patterns and practices; asset, threat, vulnerability, attack, and countermeasure. These practices can be used from a vary of uses from finding a weakness that makes a threat possible, to a safeguard that addresses a threat and mitigates risk. HP Application Security solutions enable your developers, quality assurance (QA) teams and security experts to successfully conduct web application security testing and remediation. This sophisticated, scalable, web application security solution helps you find and fix security vulnerabilities for web applications throughout the application software development lifecycle.

To address web application security, you must treat these security vulnerabilities as defects. As such, application security must be incorporated into your existing quality management practices within the software development lifecycle.” ( Hewlett-Packard 2010)
