For courses in Software Engineering and Software Reliability.Successful Software Development takes a systematic approach to consistently successful software development. It proceeds from the fact that there is no one way to develop software systems and introduces a model for a mature software development process that accommodates flexibility, the Systems Engineering Environment (SEE). This model comprises two fundamental, interlocked elements: the policies and procedures that define how software development is performed and the technologies available to get the job done.

In the age of the Internet, where software is more mission-critical than ever, it is no longer enough for your development projects to succeed some of the time. You need to deliver excellence, consistently - and you must do it faster than ever.

It's no longer enough for software development projects to succeed some of the time; you need to deliver excellence, consistently. Cultivating Successful Software Development: A Practitioner's View presents the first systematic approach to making sure that all the software systems you develop meet the highest standards. It introduces the first coherent model for a mature software development process, the Systems Engineering Environment (SEE). This model comprises two fundamental, interlocked elements: the policies and procedures that define how software development is performed, and the technologies available to get the job done. Using the SEE framework, you'll walk through every step of the software development process - from planning, through coding, through maintenance. You'll learn how to measure where you are - and where you should be. Then you'll learn how to go beyond quantification, discovering proven ways to make the cultural changes your organization needs to improve software quality. Discover how you can establish and nourish an ongoing, productive dialogue between developers and customers; manage the multiple constituencies, personalities issues, and egos that complicate software development; create plans that reflect the need for change - and take into account real-world risks; and write clearer, more useful contracts and statements of work. Cultivating Successful Software Development includes more than 200 figures, process diagrams and annotated outlines - all designed to help you understand and implement better processes quickly, and with less resistance to perceived (real or imagined) losses. This book's techniques will work with any software quality methodology you choose, as well as SEI's capability maturity models and ISO 9000. They will work with any development technology, from CASE to object oriented design to rapid prototyping. And they will work for you whether you're a programmer, manager, or customer. When it comes to delivering better software, if you need to get results, you need Cultivating Successful Software Development.

Use the methodology in this study guide to design, manage, and operate a balanced enterprise cybersecurity program that is pragmatic and realistic in the face of resource constraints and other real-world limitations. This guide is an instructional companion to the book Enterprise Cybersecurity: How to Build a Successful Cyberdefense Program Against Advanced Threats. The study guide will help you understand the book’s ideas and put them to work. The guide can be used for self-study or in the classroom.
Enterprise cybersecurity is about implementing a cyberdefense program that will succeed in defending against real-world attacks. While we often know what should be done, the resources to do it often are not sufficient. The reality is that the Cybersecurity Conundrum―what the defenders request, what the frameworks specify, and what the budget allows versus what the attackers exploit―gets in the way of what needs to be done. Cyberattacks in the headlines affecting millions of people show that this conundrum fails more often than we would prefer.
Cybersecurity professionals want to implement more than what control frameworks specify, and more than what the budget allows. Ironically, another challenge is that even when defenders get everything that they want, clever attackers are extremely effective at finding and exploiting the gaps in those defenses, regardless of their comprehensiveness. Therefore, the cybersecurity challenge is to spend the available budget on the right protections, so that real-world attacks can be thwarted without breaking the bank.
People involved in or interested in successful enterprise cybersecurity can use this study guide to gain insight into a comprehensive framework for coordinating an entire enterprise cyberdefense program.
What You’ll Learn <ul>
<li>Know the methodology of targeted attacks and why they succeed</li> <li>Master the cybersecurity risk management process</li> <li>Understand why cybersecurity capabilities are the foundation of effective cyberdefenses</li> <li>Organize a cybersecurity program's policy, people, budget, technology, and assessment</li> <li>Assess and score a cybersecurity program</li> <li>Report cybersecurity program status against compliance and regulatory frameworks</li> <li>Use the operational processes and supporting information systems of a successful cybersecurity program</li> <li>Create a data-driven and objectively managed cybersecurity program</li> <li>Discover how cybersecurity is evolving and will continue to evolve over the next decade</li> </ul>
Who This Book Is For Those involved in or interested in successful enterprise cybersecurity (e.g., business professionals, IT professionals, cybersecurity professionals, and students). This guide can be used in a self-study mode. The book can be used by students to facilitate note-taking in the classroom and by Instructors to develop classroom presentations based on the contents of the original book, Enterprise Cybersecurity: How to Build a Successful Cyberdefense Program Against Advanced Threats.
