Web Tool Schools Developers on Security


By Jeff Feinman
May 15, 2007 — 
Security Innovation released in mid-April TeamMentor, a Web-based application security learning and knowledge management system for software development.

TeamMentor is a repository of learning modules and secure development assets, such as coding practices, libraries and checklists, that are reusable across multiple development teams. The offering provides guidelines and vulnerability information—on an interface modeled around Google.

Peter Jenney, vice president of strategy for Security Innovation, said that developers could learn how to implement authentication systems by using TeamMentor. The tool can also teach developers how to build applications that are not susceptible to SQL injections, cross-site scripting attacks and buffer overflows. Jenney said the offering lays out countermeasures for vulnerabilities specific to different programming languages, and also provides references to outside sources, including Microsoft and OWASP, the Open Web Application Security Project.

“The earlier in the process that you catch a problem, the cheaper it is,” Jenney said. “Our strategy is to get this thing out in the field and to constantly fill it as we collect more information from the front lines, then get it into the knowledgebase. We’re going to have revisions of the product in the near future that provide defenses against vulnerabilities that just happened, rather than things that are already well known.”
