Just passing on some information about the new Microsoft Developer Security Resource Kit:
“The new Microsoft Developer Security Resource Kit brings together a host of valuable references and resources for developing more secure applications. In it you'll find:
- Best practices: These guidelines, how-to documents, and checklists will help you integrate security issues into the development process.
- Training: View webcasts and get access to loads of sample code to get you up to speed quickly on key security concepts.
- Developer tools: Analyze your code for security flaws, run data queries, detect errors, and test for compatibility issues.
- Technical articles and additional resources: Link up with online community and event resources. And when you order, you can also order Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 for a six-month evaluation
In addition, by ordering a Developer Security Resource Kit DVD—you pay only shipping and handling—you will be able to receive notice of future updates to these toolkit resources as content is added and revised. It's a great way to stay on top of security issues that affect developers.“
