Introduction to the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).ppsx
- 1. Introduction to the Microsoft® Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) Secure software made easier
- 2. Agenda • Applications under attack • Origins of the Microsoft SDL • What is Microsoft doing about the threat? • Measurable improvements at Microsoft
- 4. Cybercrime Evolution • LANs • First PC virus • Motivation: damage 1986–1995 • Internet Era • “Big Worms” • Motivation: damage 1995–2003 • OS, DB attacks • Spyware, Spam • Motivation: Financial 2004+ • Targeted attacks • Social engineering • Financial + Political 2006+ 2007 Market prices: Credit Card Number $0.50 - $20 Full Identity $1 - $15 Bank Account $10 - $1000 Cost of U.S. cybercrime: About $70B Source: U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), FBI
- 5. Attacks are focusing on applications 90% of vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable From the Microsoft Security Intelligence Report V7 Sources: IBM X-Force, 2008 % of vulnerability disclosures: Operating system vs browser and application vulnerabilities
- 6. Most vulnerabilities are in smaller ISV apps 11% 89% Vendors' accountability for vulnerabilities in 2008 Top 5 ISVs Others Sources: IBM X-Force 2008 Security Report
- 8. Security Timeline at Microsoft… 2002-2003 2004 2005-2007 Now • Bill Gates writes “Trustworthy Computing” memo early 2002 • “Windows security push” for Windows Server 2003 • Security push and FSR extended to other products • Microsoft Senior Leadership Team agrees to require SDL for all products that: • Are exposed to meaningful risk and/or • Are Process sensitive data • SDL is enhanced • “Fuzz” testing • Code analysis • Crypto design requirements • Privacy • Banned APIs • and more… • Windows Vista is the first OS to go through full SDL cycle • Optimize the process through feedback, analysis and automation • Evangelize the SDL to the software development community: • SDL Process Guidance • SDL Optimization Model • SDL Pro Network • SDL Threat Modeling Tool • SDL Process Templates
- 9. Which apps are required to follow SDL? • Any release commonly used or deployed within an enterprise, business, or organization • Any release that regularly stores, processes, or communicates PII (as defined in Microsoft Privacy Guidelines for Developing Software Products and Services) or other sensitive customer information • Any release that regularly touches or listens on the Internet or other networks • Any release that accepts and/or processes data from an unauthenticated source • Any functionality that parses any file type that is not protected, (i.e. not limited to system administrators) • Any release that contains ActiveX and/or COM controls • All Microsoft, MSN and Live.com online services that are used by external customers and hosted in the MSN environment
- 11. Working to protect our users… Education Accountability Administer and track security training Incident Response (MSRC) Establish release criteria and sign-off as part of FSR Ongoing Process Improvements Process Guide product teams to meet SDL requirements
- 12. Pre-SDL Requirements: Security Training Assess organizational knowledge on security and privacy – establish training program as necessary • Establish training criteria – Content covering secure design, development, test and privacy • Establish minimum training frequency – Employees must attend n classes per year • Establish minimum acceptable group training thresholds – Organizational training targets (e.g. 80% of all technical personnel trained prior to product RTM) Requirements Design Implementation Verification Release Response
- 13. Phase One: Requirements Opportunity to consider security at the outset of a project • Development team identifies security and privacy requirements • Development team identifies lead security and privacy contacts • Security Advisor assigned • Security Advisor reviews product plan, makes recommendations, may set additional requirements • Mandate the use of a bug tracking/job assignment system • Define and document security and privacy bug bars Design Implementation Verification Release Response
- 14. Phase Two: Design • Identify design techniques (layering, managed code, least privilege, attack surface minimization) • Document attack surface and limit through default settings • Define supplemental security ship criteria due to unique product issues – Cross-site scripting tests – Deprecation of weak crypto • Threat Modeling – Systematic review of features and product architecture from a security point of view – Identify threats and mitigations • Online services specific requirements Define and document security architecture, identify security critical components Implementation Verification Release Response
- 15. Phase Three: Implementation Full spectrum review – used to determine processes, documentation and tools necessary to ensure secure deployment and operation • Specification of approved build tools and options • Static analysis (PREFix, /analyze (PREfast), FXCop) • Banned APIs • Use of operating system “defense in depth” protections (NX, ASLR and HeapTermination) • Online services specific requirements (e.g., Cross-site scripting , SQL Injection etc) • Consider other recommendations (e.g., Standard Annotation Language (SAL)) Verification Release Response
- 16. Phase Four: Verification Started as early as possible – conducted after “code complete” stage • Start security response planning – including response plans for vulnerability reports • Re-evaluate attack surface • Fuzz testing – files, installable controls and network facing code • Conduct “security push” (as necessary, increasingly rare) – Not a substitute for security work done during development – Code review – Penetration testing and other security testing – Review design and architecture in light of new threats • Online services specific requirements Release Response
- 17. Phase Five: Release – Response Plan Creation of a clearly defined support policy – consistent with MS corporate policies • Provide Software Security Incident Response Plan (SSIRP) – Identify contacts for MSRC and resources to respond to events – 24x7x365 contact information for 3-5 engineering, 3-5 marketing, and 1-2 management (PUM and higher) individuals • Ensure ability to service all code including “out of band” releases and all licensed 3rd party code. Response
- 18. Phase Five: Release – Final Security Review Verify SDL requirements are met and there are no known security vulnerabilities • Provides an independent view into “security ship readiness” • The FSR is NOT: – A penetration test – no “penetrate and patch” allowed – The first time security is reviewed – A signoff process – Key Concept: The tasks for this phase are used as a determining factor on whether or not to ship – not used as a “catchall” phase for missed work in earlier phases Response
- 19. Phase Five: Release – Archive Security response plan complete • Customer documentation up-to-date • Archive RTM source code, symbols, threat models to a central location • Complete final signoffs on Checkpoint Express – validating security, privacy and corporate compliance policies Response
- 20. Post-SDL Requirement: Response “Plan the work, work the plan…” • Execution on response tasks outlined during Security Response Planning and Release Phases
- 21. Training Requirements Design Implementation Verification Release LOB-specific training Risk assessment • Application portfolio • Application Risk assessment • Determine service level Asset-centric threat modeling • Threat model • Design review Internal review • Incorporate security checklists and standards • Conduct self code review • Security Code analysis Pre-production assessment • Comprehensive security assessment • Bug remediation Post-production assessment • Host level scan SDL Process Guidance for LOB Apps • Line-of-Business applications are a set of critical computer applications that are vital to running an enterprise, such as accounting, human resources (HR), payroll, supply chain management, and resource planning applications. • Many of the requirements and recommendations in the SDL for online services are closely related to what is required for Line-of-Business applications. • Line-of-Business SDL process guidance allows you to tailor a process specific to your LOB application development while meeting SDL requirements. The Microsoft SDL includes online services and Line-of-Business application development guidance.
- 22. SDL Guidance for Agile Methodologies • Requirements defined by frequency, not phase – Every-Sprint (most critical) – One-Time (non-repeating) – Bucket (all others) • Great for projects without end dates, like cloud services
- 23. Secure Software Development Requires Process Improvement • Key Concepts – Simply “looking for bugs” doesn’t make software secure – Must reduce the chance vulnerabilities enter into design and code – Requires executive commitment – Requires ongoing process improvement – Requires education & training – Requires tools and automation – Requires incentives and consequences
- 25. Microsoft SDL and Windows Source: Windows Vista One Year Vulnerability Report, Microsoft Security Blog 23 Jan 2008 119 66 400 242 157 Windows XP Windows Vista OS I OS II OS III Before SDL After SDL 45% reduction in Vulnerabilities Total Vulnerabilities Disclosed One Year After Release
- 26. Microsoft SDL and SQL Server Sources: Analysis by Jeff Jones (Microsoft technet security blog) 34 3 187 SQL Server 2000 SQL Server 2005 Competing commercial DB Before SDL After SDL 91% reduction in Vulnerabilities Total Vulnerabilities Disclosed 36 Months After Release
- 27. Summary Attacks are moving to the application layer SDL = embedding security into software and culture Measurable results for Microsoft software Microsoft is committed to making SDL widely available and accessible
