Abstract :
Developing a security testing mindset is a hard task. Moreover, as hard as it is to develop it, it´s just as hard to retain it and effectively apply it during testing. The authors discuss what it takes to conduct successful software security testing, primarily by describing how to develop a security testing mindset, retain it, and effectively apply it. In particular, they explore the different roles and processes an organization needs to maintain a high level of security assurance.
