BSIMM update

The BSIMM study data set has more than tripled in size and now includes data from 30 firms. We are busy working with Betsy Nichols to crunch the numbers now that we have a statistically significant data set. The plan is to announce our results at RSA.

One question that comes up in the BSIMM work fairly consistency is the difference between BSIMM and other maturity models for software security. To answer that question, I wrote an article for informIT entitled “Cargo Cult Computer Security: Why we need more description and less prescription.”

David Rice, the author of Geekonomics (as well as the 46th Silver Bullet Security podcast victim), and I discuss the BSIMM in a webcast about the upcoming SANS software security event in San Francisco.

The time for science is upon us. And the first step in any scientific approach is measurement.
