CSSLP^® - Why Certify?

Why should I obtain the CSSLP?
In a world that is more interconnected than ever, the applications you develop must be protected. Security must be included within each phase of the software lifecycle. The CSSLP CBK^® contains the largest, most comprehensive, collection of best practices, policies, and procedures, to insure a security initiative across all phases of application development, regardless of methodology.

The CSSLP certification seminar and exam not only gauge an individual or development team’s competency in the field of application security but, teaches a valuable blueprint to install or evaluate a security plan in the lifecycle.

Benefits of Certification to the Professional

• Many organizations have adopted the CSSLP as the preferred credential to convey one’s expertise on security in the software development lifecycle.
• Defines the credential holder as a leader in application security.
• (ISC)² membership – Join 65,000 members worldwide.

Benefits of Certification to the Enterprise

• Efficient Work Practices
• The “penetrate and patch” approach to application development has proven to be deficient. Higher production costs, additional vulnerabilities, and substantial delays have resulted.
• Cost Savings
• Proper education and certification are far less expensive than the loss of revenue and reputation from a breach to data, intellectual property, or highly secure information due to delivering or acquiring insecure software.
• Greater Creditability
• Establishing a security initiative in the software development lifecycle will reduce these risks.
