Software Security and Business

[gem at cigital.com (Gary McGraw)]

hi sc-l,

We all know that justifying our activities from a business perspective is essential to a healthy and successful 
software security initiative.  Real data helps.  In the Boardroom, numbers are king.

Jim Routh (CSO of KPMG and ex CSO of DTCC) and I wrote this month's informIT article about demonstrating software 
security business value at DTCC.  This is a case study of one very successful software security initiative.
