Abstract

The Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) is a new certification from (ISC)2®. This certification purports to confirm that the professional can skillfully incorporate security into all phases of the software lifecycle. Many security experts have consistently championed the philosophy that better design, implementation, and operation of software can prevent many of the security problems that plague ubiquitous computing. This paper discusses the value to computing educators and to information technology professionals of preparing for, taking, and obtaining the CSSLP certification.
