The board held its inaugural meeting Nov. 19 in Orlando, Fla. where they discussed the state of secure software and made recommendations on, among other topics, how to gain support for and overcome the problems caused by the proliferation of insecure software. Several members hold (ISC)’s Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP') certification. The CSSLP, which recently became accredited under ANSI/ISO/IEC Standard 17024, was created to stem the proliferation of software vulnerabilities by establishing best practices and validating an individual’s competency in addressing security issues throughout the software lifecycle.
"Software vulnerabilities are one of the most pressing issues in security today with 80 percent of attacks occurring at the application layer, and we are confident this group of elite software and security professionals will bring valuable insights and ideas as to how we as a community can have an impact on this issue," said W. Hord Tipton, CISSP-ISSEP, CAP, CISA, executive director of (ISC).
The (ISC) ASAB will meet virtually on a quarterly basis and in-person annually. (ISC)2 has existing advisory boards for the Americas, U.S. federal government, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
