Types of Network Security Analysis: Network security analysis shows deployed software is continuously under attack. Hackers have been exposing and exploiting various types of network security vulnerabilities for decades and seem to be increasing their attacks. This paper describes complete lifecycle activities aimed at producing more secure and robust code that can better withstand attack.

Deployed software is continuously under attack. Hackers have been exposing and exploiting vulnerabilities for decades and seem to be increasing their attacks. This paper describes complete lifecycle activities aimed at producing more secure and robust code that can better withstand attack.

Traditional perimeter defenses are increasingly unable to stop software attacks as more and more hackers focus on the software layer and shy away from attackes against the system and networking layer. Firewalls, intrusion detection and antivirus systems simply cannot solve this problem. Only a concerted effort byt the software development community to produce more robust and reliable applications will foil attackers and allow our users and stakeholders to feel confident that they are protected from exploitation.
