As security becomes more and more an Achilles’ heel for software development, information to support decision-makers about the costs and benefits of building security in has become essential. Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of security solutions at the software development level requires understanding the impact of increasing degrees of security on the development effort. This session will present a new rating scale for establishing levels of secure software development, and the preliminary effort estimation results obtained from experts. It will also discuss the next steps envisioned to propose a security cost model based on empirical data.
