http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9217968/DHS_releases_software_security_scoring_system By Jaikumar Vijayan Computerworld June 28, 2011 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), along with the SANS Institute and Mitre, released a scoring system on Monday designed to help enterprises verify whether the software they are using meets reasonable standards for secure coding. The organizations released an updated list of the Top 25 most dangerous programming errors found in software, and a measuring system that lets enterprises score the security of their software based on the presence or absence of those flaws. The goal is to give enterprises information that will let them make more informed decisions regarding the security of their software, said Alan Paller, director of research at SANS. The hope is that organizations within the private sector and government will use the Top 25 list and scoring system during the software procurement process, he said.
