CERT Secure Coding Standards

From www.cert.org/secure-coding,
As part of the CERT Secure Coding Initiative, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has deployed a new collaborative web site, SecureCoding, dedicated to developing secure coding standards for various programming languages. CERT's initial efforts are focused on the development of secure coding practices for the C and C++ programming languages. Rules and recommendations for secure coding practices in the C and C++ programming languages are now available in the website. The purpose of this project is that the practices can be used by software developers for professional development and as the basis for organizational coding standards supporting the quality of their products. Software producers can use this information as they develop strategies to avoid vulnerabilities when they code new software.

The development of secure coding practices is a necessary step to stem the ever-increasing threat from software vulnerabilities. CERT's goal is that the enumeration of secure code practices will allow for a common set of criteria that can be used to measure and evaluate software development efforts.

I read your blog and thought I could tell you about something else which would be useful for seeing maps and directions in India.

I am writing to tell you about MapmyIndia.com, a free interactive maps and directions portal for all India. See the map of connaught place, new delhi, get directions in mumbai from nariman point to juhu airport, and find nearby ATMs in kormangala, bangalore.

As a company and individual enthusiasts, we dream only of solving the problem of reliable directions and navigation for India. For your blog specifically, you can map enable it by using our youtube-style embeddable maps, and links to specific searches (of maps, directions, local and eLocation) on MapmyIndia.

Do give us feedback, suggestions, or get involved yourself by mailing me back at tarun@mapmyindia.com or marketing@mapmyindia.com.

And if you find the different services useful, we would be grateful to you for writing and telling your readers about us.

Warm Regards,
Tarun Gupta
