RE: Comparing Scanning Tools

[dave.wichers at aspectsecurity.com (Dave Wichers)]

The OWASP Legal project took a crack at this:
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Legal_Project

 

This project developed a strawman Secure Software Development Contract annex
which is available at:
http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Secure_Software_Contract_Annex

 

This project is led by Jeff Williams of Aspect Security.

I think I should have been more specific in my first post. I should have
phrased it as I have yet to find a large enterprise whose primary business
isn't software or technology that has made a significant investment in such
tools.

 

Likewise, a lot of large enteprrises are shifting away from building inhouse
to either outsourcing and/or buying which means that secure coding practices
should also be enforced via procurement agreements. Has anyone here ran
across contract clauses that assist in this regard?

Right, because their customers (are starting to) demand more secure code
from their technology. In the enterprise space the financial, insurance,
healthcare companies who routinely lose their customer's data and provide
their customers with vulnerability-laden apps have not yet seen the same
amount of customer demand for this, but 84 million public lost records later
( http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/ChronDataBreaches.htm) this may begin to
change.

I'll give you pointers to two.  They're two of the three largest software
companies in the world.
