Building Secure Software: The Future of Security, Privacy, and Compliance

Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2025

In today’s rapidly evolving software development landscape, security has become more crucial than ever, with new libraries and frameworks emerging at an unprecedented pace. As software engineers, we must pay more attention to the latest attack surfaces and vulnerabilities. However, security engineering and software engineering are often taught as separate disciplines, which can lead to gaps in knowledge. To help software practitioners stay informed on these topics, this column highlights key security concepts and approaches discussed at the 32nd ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE 2024), held in Porto de Galinhas, Brazil, in July 2024. We welcome your feedback and suggestions on the topics covered. Additionally, if you experiment with or adopt any of the practices featured here, please share your experiences with us and the authors of the respective papers.
