Meeting Industry Needs for Secure Software Development

摘要

In this paper, we describe a partnership between the Central Illinois Center of Excellence for Secure Software (CICESS) and Illinois Central College (ICC) that resulted in the creation of a two-year degree program in Secure Software Development. That program incorporated an apprenticeship model and the Software Engineering Institute's software assurance curriculum recommendations at the community college level. We describe the industry needs, the software assurance curriculum recommendations, how ICC implemented those recommendations, and the return on investment model presented to industry.
