Innovation, the authority on application security and leading
independent provider of risk assessment, risk mitigation and
training services today announced the immediate availability of its
first commercially packaged e-Learning program, “How to Break
Software Security.”
“How to Break Software Security” delivers 19 security test
principles with labs that drive home the key concepts that all
software development teams must employ to ensure their applications
are as secure as they can be. As a book “How to Break Software
Security” is required reading at more than 40 colleges and
universities worldwide. The instructor-led and customized e-Learning
versions of the course have been instrumental in training
developers, testers and auditors at companies including ING, SAP,
Symantec, McAfee, Liberty Mutual, HP, FedEx, Symantec, Microsoft,
IBM and Visa.
This commercial software is a SCORM (Shareable Content Object
Reference Model)-compliant e-Learning program, making “How to Break

environments, and allowing organizations of all sizes to train their
engineers efficiently in the art of breaking software
security—developing stronger, more secure applications as a result.
“Security Innovation has been extremely successful with the ‘How to
Break Software Security’ course though it has always been a
challenge delivering it to all the people who need it due to
customer scale and time constraints,” said Michael Gavin, security
strategist at Security Innovation. “Our new e-Learning format will
address that challenge and get the course in front of software
professionals who can benefit from it most. Employing an
industry-compliant e-Learning format helps us meet the large demand
for security education in a scalable way.”
“Software security is one of the most critical issues in software
development today,” said Ed Adams, CEO of Security Innovation. “More
emphasis is being placed on developing secure applications that
protect customer’s private information and sensitive data than ever
before. ‘How to Break Software Security’ delivers the knowledge
needed to succeed in an always-accessible layout.”
Each training module is fully-indexed so users can find precisely
the help they need easily. Users can also pause, fast-forward and
rewind within any module or lab to ensure full comprehension of the
material, and there is a myriad of questions throughout each module
to allow for self-assessment.
