![]() The CERT Program supports software developers and systems engineers so they can make security a top priority. Our organization's Secure Coding initiative helps software developers eliminate vulnerabilities that stem from coding errors, identify common programming errors that produce vulnerabilities, establish standards for secure coding, and educate other software developers. In partnership with US-CERT, we also support the Build Security In (BSI) software assurance initiative, which contains a range of best practices, tools, guidelines, rules, and principles that can be used to build security into software in every phase of development. Our work in survivable systems engineering helps organizations improve the security of networked computer systems. We produce research, technology development, and technology transfer focused on preventing security flaws and preserving essential services in the event of a system compromise. |
