Corporate News: Lockheed Martin plans secure coding best practices with SANS Institute

Secure Coding

Lockheed Martin is partnering with the SANS Institute to reduce cyber security vulnerabilities that may be introduced during software development. Through a new certification program and training initiatives, Lockheed Martin developers will be given new skills to further enhance the security of the code they write. Initially, the SANS Lockheed Martin project will allow Lockheed Martin to assess the secure coding skills of 75 programmers, provide training to improve their skills, and certify its developers through a rigorous certification exam. Based on the results of the assessment and training, the program may be expanded to train a broader workforce of developers. Developers will be tested by SANS’ new Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) Secure Software Programmer (GSSP) examinations. The examinations use questions with real code examples, are currently available for Java, C and .NET developers, and are offered through SANS Institute.
