Hi all, Over the years we've had the opportunity to see the evolution of security in software development life cycles (SDLC) at many organizations. We've started to see patterns in how things evolve from a path of least resistance: from the bare minimum of production penetration testing through to security in requirements & QA. In order to help us assess where an organization stands in terms of application security maturity, we developed the Organic Secure SDLC model: http://www.sdelements.com/secure-sdlc/software-security-throughout-life-cycle-9-steps/ If you're an actual practitioner who has lived through developing a secure SDLC I'd love to hear your thoughts about the model's accuracy / relevancy. If you know of any practical whitepapers / articles that might be of use to somebody responsible for moving to the next in this model then please let me know.
