Microsoft Releases Quick Security References (QSRs) for XSS & SQLi

Via Microsoft SDL Blog -

Jeremy Dallman here to tell you about some new security guidance papers we are releasing today.
“My company was just attacked by something called SQL Injection! I have no idea what that is, or what I should do next! Where do I start?”
Unfortunately, this is a frequent scenario for many developers and IT Pros who have just discovered their systems, websites or applications have been compromised.

We’ve spoken to a number of people in the IT community who equate this to being tossed a parachute and thrown out of a plane into free-fall with no idea what to do next. These folks know the parachute will help them, but need a quick and easy way to find the D-Ring.

Today we are releasing the first of a new type of security guidance paper. We are calling them “Quick Security References” (QSRs).

With the SDL Quick Security References (QSR), the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team introduces a series of basic guidance papers designed to address common vulnerabilities from the perspective of multiple business roles - business decision maker, architect, developer, and tester/QA. These papers will help you address a critical business problem now while moving you toward SDL adoption in the future.

----------------------------------

At this point, only two SDL QSRs have been released - XSS and SQLi.

But both should be extremely helpful.
