    New DoD requirement for software developers that MUST be fulfilled by July 2019... CSSLP (certified secure software lifecycle professional) is a certification from (ISC)2 that focuses on application security within the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Launched in 2008, the CSSLP certification is designed for programmers, project managers, IT analysts or engineers involved in the SDLC. The certification's curriculum focuses on application vulnerabilities, risk and compliance issues that arise during the application development lifecycle and is broken down into eight domains: •Secure Software Concepts •Secure Software Requirements •Software Design •Secure Software Implementation/Coding •Secure Software Testing •Software Acceptance, Software Deployment •Operations, Maintenance and Disposal •Supply Chain and Software Acquisition CSSLP is intended to help candidates validate their expertise in application security, be able to better handle application vulnerabilities and demonstrate a working knowledge of application security. In order to be considered for the CSSLP certification, candidates must have at least four years cumulative paid full-time work experience in at least one of the eight domains of the CSSLP. Alternatively, candidates can substitute a year of this work experience with a four-year college degree in a related field. The CSSLP exam takes four hours to complete and consists of 175 multiple choice questions. Candidate need to achieve a minimum of 700 out of 1000 points to pass the exam and gain the certification.

    Thanks for the info. It looks quite arduous, especially since you need to meet some requirements to be re-certified every 3 years. It also encompasses a lot of different areas that a person may never be involved with. I feel your pain! I may have to go down that path as well in the future. :sigh:

      But I have to take the test to "prove my skills" (according to the ICS2 website). I do get a "digital badge" when I pass, so I guess, silver lining.

        175 question 1000 points. Doesn't divide evenly. Try to find out which questions are the more weighty ones and focus on that material.

          And does all that time and effort and taxpayer cost actually improve application security????

                I dislike the over-the-f*ckin-top certification requirements imposed by the DoD. I think they have some as*hole sitting in a dark room somewhere in Washington trying to dream up ways to make working as a developer for the government the most distasteful job imaginable.

                              Consider the reported breaches. Draw your own conclusions. (now, add the _un_reported breaches - that should re-enforce your guess)

                                    New DoD requirement for software developers that MUST be fulfilled by July 2019... CSSLP (certified secure software lifecycle professional) is a certification from (ISC)2 that focuses on application security within the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The certification's curriculum focuses on application vulnerabilities, risk and compliance issues that arise during the application development lifecycle and is broken down into eight domains: •Secure Software Concepts •Secure Software Requirements •Software Design •Secure Software Implementation/Coding •Secure Software Testing •Software Acceptance, Software Deployment •Operations, Maintenance and Disposal •Supply Chain and Software Acquisition CSSLP is intended to help candidates validate their expertise in application security, be able to better handle application vulnerabilities and demonstrate a working knowledge of application security. In order to be considered for the CSSLP certification, candidates must have at least four years cumulative paid full-time work experience in at least one of the eight domains of the CSSLP.

                                    Makes me glad I left the world of defense contracting behind 30 years ago.
