Overview: ProveIT case studies provide government end users with assessments
of IT solutions. This ProveIT case study examines a U.S. Air Force initiative to implement application security/software assurance practices
following the massive breach of an Air Force information system.
The U.S. Air Force began realizing that it had been losing unknown
quantities of data and information. These data losses came about as the
Air Force moved from using closed systems or client-server systems to
the open Web. Like the rest of the federal government, the Air Force
was increasingly creating or acquiring Web-based systems or bolting
on Web interfaces to legacy systems to open them up to outside
systems and users - as well as threats and actual attacks.
This case study discusses the approach taken by the Air Force in creating the Application Software Assurance Center of Excellence (ASACoE), and its approach to implementing software security.
