==Introduction==
 
==Introduction==
−
OWASP Code Review Guide is a technical book written for those responsible for code reviews (management, developers, security professionals). The primarily focus of this book has been divided into two main sections. Section one is why and how of code reviews and sections two is devoted to what vulnerabilities need to be to look for during a manual code review. While security scanners are improving every day the need for manual security code reviews still needs to have a prominent place in organizations SDLC (Secure development life cycle) that desires good secure code in production.
 
  
−
Second sections deals with vulnerabilities. It is based on the poplar OWASP 2013 top 10.  Here you will find most of the code examples for both on what not to do and on what to do. A word of caution on code examples; Perl is famous for its saying that there are 10,000 ways to do one thing. The same is true for C#, PHP and Java or any other computer language. Now add in "Object-Oriented Programming" and if we are using design patterns or even what designs patterns are being used and sample code becomes very “iff” in what to write. We tried to keep the sample code so code reviews can see red flags and not “do it my way or else”.
+
The purpose of this document is to guide CISOs and managers of security DevOps in managing application security from initial problem statement to delivery of the solution. We start this journey in part I by providing guidance on how to start an application security initiative such as with the creation of the business cases for investing in application security following with awareness of threats targeting applications. In part II we focus on how to create an application security program including the adoption of secure software development activities, application security tools and secure code training for developers. In part III we focus on managing application security from both program execution as well as from risk management strategy perspectives including the mitigation of the risk of vulnerabilities and the metrics and reporting them based upon risk and exposure. In part IV we focus on process improvements such as the use of software maturity models and the lesson learned from security incidents whose root causes might have been identified in exploit of application vulnerabilities.

The last section is the appendix. Here we have content like code reviewer check list, etc. of items that really don’t flow in book form but needed to be included to make the code review guide compete.

==Objectives==

==Review of Code Review Guide 2.0==
+
The guide assists CISOs on how to manage application security through the phases of initiation, creation, management and process improvements.

Tactical guidance is provided in the following aspects:
 +
* Assure compliance of applications with security regulations for privacy, data protection and information security
 +
* Leverage OWASP resources such as project documentation and tools
 +
* Manage application security from perspective or people/training, processes and tools/technologies
 +
* Manage application vulnerability risks and remediation based upon risk exposure to the business
 +
* Create awareness on cyber-threats targeting applications to focus on countermeasures
 +
* Operationalise application security assessments and provide support to development teams for continuous software security development and testing
 +
* Integration of existing applications with emerging technologies such as API, micro-services, cloud, virtualisation, biometrics
 +
* Alignment of application security strategy with business and IT strategy
 +
* Focus on process automation and process improvements
 +
* Be an agent of change in challenging corporate environments and trigger appropriate responses
 +
* Asking the right questions to gain visibility across the organisation (who does what questions)
 +
* Proactive risk management strategies
 +
* Capture lesson learned from past security incidents/data breaches
 +
* Setting roadmaps for process improvements

OWASP Application Security Guide For CISOs (Version 2 - 2018 Edition)

Among application security stakeholders, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs),are responsible for application security from governance, compliance and risk perspectives. The Application Security Guide For CISOs seeks to help CISOs manage application security programs according to their own roles, responsibilities, perspectives and needs. Application security best practices and OWASP resources are referenced throughout the guide.

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to guide CISOs and managers of security DevOps in managing application security from initial problem statement to delivery of the solution. We start this journey in part I by providing guidance on how to start an application security initiative such as with the creation of the business cases for investing in application security following with awareness of threats targeting applications. In part II we focus on how to create an application security program including the adoption of secure software development activities, application security tools and secure code training for developers. In part III we focus on managing application security from both program execution as well as from risk management strategy perspectives including the mitigation of the risk of vulnerabilities and the metrics and reporting them based upon risk and exposure. In part IV we focus on process improvements such as the use of software maturity models and the lesson learned from security incidents whose root causes might have been identified in exploit of application vulnerabilities.

Objectives

The guide assists CISOs on how to manage application security through the phases of initiation, creation, management and process improvements. Tactical guidance is provided in the following aspects:

  • Assure compliance of applications with security regulations for privacy, data protection and information security
  • Leverage OWASP resources such as project documentation and tools
  • Manage application security from perspective or people/training, processes and tools/technologies
  • Manage application vulnerability risks and remediation based upon risk exposure to the business
  • Create awareness on cyber-threats targeting applications to focus on countermeasures
  • Operationalise application security assessments and provide support to development teams for continuous software security development and testing
  • Integration of existing applications with emerging technologies such as API, micro-services, cloud, virtualisation, biometrics
  • Alignment of application security strategy with business and IT strategy
  • Focus on process automation and process improvements
  • Be an agent of change in challenging corporate environments and trigger appropriate responses
  • Asking the right questions to gain visibility across the organisation (who does what questions)
  • Proactive risk management strategies
  • Capture lesson learned from past security incidents/data breaches
  • Setting roadmaps for process improvements

Volunteers

We are currently assembly a team of volunteers to author, edit and review the guide version 2. List of names will be updated soon

  • We rebooted the project (at AppSec USA 2017 Project Summit) create new version 2, wiki, GitHub repository
  • We reactivated OWASP CISO mailing list
  • We have created the stub for version 2 and structured the contents in four parts

what is this project?
Name: OWASP Application Security Guide For CISOs Project (home page)
Purpose:
  • The purpose of this document is to guide the CISO in managing application security from initial problem statement to delivery of the solution. We start this journey with the creation of the business cases for investing in application security following with the awareness of threats targeting applications, the identification of the economical impacts, the determination of a risk mitigation strategy, the prioritization of the mitigation of the risk of vulnerabilities, the selection of security control measures to mitigate risks,the adoption of secure software development processes and maturity models and we conclude this journey with the selection of metrics for reporting and managing application security risk.
