Software development and related security issues

Security is a serious problem in software development, and may become much worse in the future. Unfortunately there is no simple solution to the software security problem. Today´s software developers must deal with large numbers of defects in released software. Many security issues result from these defects - defects that occur during software design and development. These defects are unintentional, and their prevalence can be reduced during the development process in order to enhance security. Security must be integrated into the software development life cycle from the beginning and continue until the product is in use. This paper discusses security issues in the design and development of the software.
