BSIMM vs. SAMM: The Epic Quest for Software Security Maturity!
In the quest for secure software design, organizations are aligning with BSIMM and OWASP SAMM models. While BSIMM acts as a descriptive guide, OWASP SAMM offers prescriptive pathways. Despite budget boosts and executive buy-in, many struggle to meet these models’ goals. The secret? Developer upskilling and a security-first culture.
Hot Take:
In the cybersecurity world, everyone wants to be the cool kid on the block, but aligning with BSIMM or SAMM is like trying to fit into skinny jeans after a year of quarantine snacks—easier said than done! These software security models are the rules of the game, but many organizations find themselves benched for not meeting the objectives, despite throwing money at the problem. Maybe it’s time for a little developer yoga to stretch those security skills!
Key Points:
- BSIMM and OWASP SAMM are two global standards for software security models.
- BSIMM is descriptive, providing a comparison template, while SAMM is prescriptive, offering structured paths to security maturity.
- Despite executive support and budget increases, many organizations struggle to meet these models’ objectives.
- Developer upskilling and a security-first culture are crucial for achieving software security maturity.
- Organizations need to tailor their approach to security maturity by building strong foundations in-house.
