Software Security (the book)

[gem at cigital.com (Gary McGraw)]

Hi sc-lers,

The new book is being released today and is finally available.  For
information on the book see www.swsec.com.  You might enjoy reading Dan
Geer's foreword (http://www.swsec.com/book/foreword/), which is both
erudite and entertaining as geer's writing tends to be.  The Table of
Contents is on the website too.  You'll find that the book talks all
about the touchpoints (big surprise).

"Software Security" is also being released as part of a three book set
called "The Software Security Library".  The box set will anchor a new
series from Addison-Wesley called the Addison-Wesley Software Security
Series (http://www.buildsecurityin.com/).  I am the editor of the new
series, and we are actively seeking proposals and contributors.  In
particular, I would love to see a solid treatment of risk-based security
testing and a book on abuse cases.  Who wants to write a book?

Hope you like it!
