Enterprise Partners
Software and Application Security Enterprise Partners Program
For more information or to discuss participation email enterprisepartners@sans-ssi.org
Many large organizations are working diligently to establish secure coding initiatives that will improve the security of applications they build for their own use and that are sold to others or embedded in products they sell to others. They are establishing training programs for their programmers; they are developing code testing processes; they are drafting secure coding policies; they are altering their contracts with consultants and outsourcers all with the goal of gaining confidence that the code they deliver is as secure as possible. Most of them have considered developing an assessment examination, but would be happier if the SANS initiative were successful, and therefore several, including Fortune 50 companies in the US and their equivalents in Europe, and major consulting organizations and software vendors have begun helping SANS make the Secure Programming Assessment examinations as good as they can be and as applicable to their corporate interests as possible. In return, SANS has named them Enterprise Partners of the initiative. Other large organizations committed to improving secure programming are welcome to join the program. Send email to enterprisepartners@sans-ssi.org with a brief description of the secure coding initiative you have already begun.
