Description
Cyber-attacks continue to rise as more individuals rely on storing personal information on networks. Even though these networks are continuously checked and secured, cybercriminals find new strategies to break through these protections. Thus, advanced security systems, rather than simple security patches, need to be designed and developed.
Exploring Security in Software Architecture and Design is an essential reference source that discusses the development of security-aware software systems that are built into every phase of the software architecture. Featuring research on topics such as migration techniques, service-based software, and building security, this book is ideally designed for computer and software engineers, ICT specialists, researchers, academicians, and field experts.
Reviews and Testimonials
“Threat modeling has long been highlighted by software security gurus as one of the most effective software security activities that you can do to improve the overall security of your software products. The importance of software security is now being recognized in numerous domains, also in domains where there previously have been less focus on security. A concrete example is connected medical devices, where draft guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration explicitly include documentation of threat modeling activities as part of premarket submissions for FDA approval. Threat modeling makes sense for any software development effort, but it seems that if you intend to market your medical devices in the US, you really shouldn't leave your development process without it.”
