“…Management must lead by example, showing real commitment to security improvement by allocating time and money to properly institute the processes and practices of SSE. Without management backing, any software security "initiative" is likely to be hype and lip-service (van Wyk & Steven, 2006).…”

This paper provides a taxonomy of secure software systems engineering (SSE) by surveying and organizing relevant SSE research and presents current trends in SSE, on-going challenges, and models for reasoning about threats and vulnerabilities. Several challenging questions related to risk assessment/mitigation (e.g., "what is the likelihood of attack") as well as practical questions (e.g., "where do vulnerabilities originate" and "how can vulnerabilities be prevented") are addressed.

People attack software deliberately to steal highly sensitive as well as personal information with the sole intention of carrying out well-funded, destructive and unethical goals that could harm individuals, nations or the whole world. Available technological controls could be implemented to tighten access and minimize persistent threats but the complete solution of secure software could only be provided by changing the behavior of the people involved. This can be achieved through effective security awareness techniques implemented by individuals because they are, in most cases, the first target for gaining access into the system. This paper highlights the utility of security awareness with the help of recent published work for building more secure software. In addition, areas that need further investigations are identified in the paper.
