Academic Paper Summary

 

To safe software from hackers, software engineers created software security system but some of them were not sure how to handle this new technology. After launching of first book in 2001 about software security, different field expertise started investigation on software security. According to the author, software risks are increasing day by day due to expandable and complicated software. And internet has played another role in the growth of security threat in various applications. It is said that software should be made risk free on the time of their creation.

The function of software security is to identify the complications running in the software. Some organizations use interruption recognizing system, firewalls and anti-spyware for security of their software. But, they are not the creators of security software to protect data from vulnerabilities, which is expanding with the passage of time. It is difficult to secure the whole system from risk and problems but those software which are built with security risks are a little bit easy to be protected from hazards.

Software security is a part of any system. It begins when system face any kind of threat or problems. It is not possible that a system would be safe from threats just by the name of security, it should be apply from the beginning. To understand and run such software, thorough investigation with study is needed. Security software should be used with knowledge, to secure network from future risks or attacks.
