Role of Code Reviews in Application Security

We've just posted a new article in the The Essentials Series: Messaging and Web Security - Volume 2 on the role of code reviews in application security. Here's an excerpt:

Software developers have to juggle numerous requirements and constraints. Applications have to meet functional specifications, maintain sufficient levels of usability, and meet performance expectations. They also have to be reliable, scalable, and, of course, secure. For decades, software engineers have created and improved development methodologies and life cycle management processes to corral these sometimes competing demands and meet as many of them as possible while delivering applications on schedule and on budget. Code reviews are an increasingly important part of the software management life cycle.

For more, see volume 2 of the Essential Series where you'll also find 26 other articles ranging from identity management an remote access to database auditing and portal security.
