IEEE promotes security skills to software developers

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has formed a new advisory group with the private sector that aims to advise software developers on how to ensure that their applications are secure.

The IEEE has linked with ten IT and security organisations – including Google, Twitter, Cigital and RSA – to form the IEEE Centre for Secure Design (CSD). The CSD’s first step has been to issue an advisory report for software developers – and allied staff – on how they can make their applications more secure.
