The next chapter meeting will be held on June 21st at a 20the floor, 79 Wellington Street West, Toronto, ON M5K 1B9 .


Topic: Incorporating security into the SDLC

Description: Incorporating security into the SDLC has been the subject of academic studies for years. However, as hacking has evolved from a hobbyist's sport to organized professionals focused on monetization, enterprises have been forced to take concerted countermeasures. Banks, often the target of cyber attacks, have set an example for responsible security strategies by adopting SDLCs that shift from a reactive response to the latest attack to the proactive development of software systems that are among the most secure in today's world. How do the world's leading financial institutions balance risk against the pressures of delivering software to customers quickly? How are developers trained to write code securely? How are software security tools, such as dynamic and static analysis, deployed for optimal use?
