Do I really need all this work to find vulnerabilities? An empirical case study comparing vulnerability detection techniques on a Java application

EMPIRICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, 27(6).

By: S. Elder n, N. Zahan n , R. Shu n, M. Metro n, V. Kozarev n, T. Menzies n , L. Williams n

author keywords: Vulnerability Management; Web Application Security; Penetration Testing; Vulnerability Scanners
TL;DR: The goal of this research is to assist managers and other decision-makers in making informed choices about the use of software vulnerability detection techniques through an empirical study of the efficiency and effectiveness of four techniques on a Java-based web application.

Structuring a Comprehensive Software Security Course Around the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard

2021 IEEE/ACM 43RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: JOINT TRACK ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND TRAINING (ICSE-JSEET 2021), pp. 95–104.

By: S. Elder n, N. Zahan n , V. Kozarev n, R. Shu n, T. Menzies n  & L. Williams n

author keywords: Security and Protection; Computer and Information Science Education; Industry-Standards
TL;DR: A theme of the course assignments was to map vulnerability discovery to the security controls of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), and this mapping may have increased students' depth of understanding of a wider range of security topics.

Vulnerability Detection is Just the Beginning

2021 IEEE/ACM 43RD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: COMPANION PROCEEDINGS (ICSE-COMPANION 2021), pp. 304–308.

By: S. Elder n

author keywords: Security Management; Computer Security; Software Testing
TL;DR: This research examines the relationships between the vulnerability detection technique used to find a vulnerability, the type of vulnerability found, the exploitability of the vulnerability, and the effort needed to fix a vulnerability on two projects where all vulnerabilities found have been fixed.
