- The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM)
The Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) (http://www.opensamm.org)
is a flexible and prescriptive framework for building security into a
software development organization. Covering more than typical
SDLC-based models for security, SAMM enables organizations to
self-assess their security assurance program and then use recommended
roadmaps to improve in a way that's aligned to the specific risks
facing the organization. Beyond that, SAMM enables creation of
scorecards for an organization's effectiveness at secure software
development throughout the typical governance, development, and
deployment business functions. Scorecards also enable management
within an organization to demonstrate quantitative improvements
through iterations of building a security assurance program. This
workshop will introduce the SAMM framework and walk through useful
activities such as assessing an assurance program, mapping an existing
organization to a recommended roadmap, and iteratively building an
assurance program. Time allowing, additional case studies will also be
discussed. SAMM is an open and free project and has recently been added
under the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Foundation.
