Today’s post was written by SAFECode Executive Director Howard A. Schmidt.

I am pleased to officially welcome Huawei, NetApp, Sonatype and Veracode as SAFECode’s newest members. Each of these companies brings unique perspective and expertise to our efforts and we look forward to working with them.

They will join current SAFECode members in collaborative work across a number of interesting and important areas. These include a review of secure development practices in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, sharing practices around the management of third-party software components, and looking at ways to support customers in their assessment of security for the software they purchase. We also continue to support existing SAFECode work, such as our popular training initiative and extending the use of our Fundamental Practices for Secure Software Development work.
