is a flexible and prescriptive framework for building security into a
 
software development organization. Covering more than typical
 
SDLC-based models for security, SAMM enables organizations to
 
self-assess their security assurance program and then use recommended
 
roadmaps to improve in a way that's aligned to the specific risks
 
facing the organization. Beyond that, SAMM enables creation of
 
scorecards for an organization's effectiveness at secure software
 
development throughout the typical governance, development, and
 
deployment business functions. Scorecards also enable management
 
within an organization to demonstrate quantitative improvements
 
through iterations of building a security assurance program. This
 
workshop will introduce the SAMM framework and walk through useful
 
activities such as assessing an assurance program, mapping an existing
 
organization to a recommended roadmap, and iteratively building an
 
assurance program. Time allowing, additional case studies will also be
 
discussed. SAMM is an open and free project and has recently been added
 
under the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation.
