Articles forms the sources of my blog post. I am gonna blog about software security articles now.

In the last several decades technology has advanced at a rate that was unforeseen by most, and computers and the internet are significant, contributing marvels to that fact, and also a direct result of the improvements in technology. Computer software makes the modern world go around, for the simple fact that so many critical communication and service systems are reliant on it. Banks, national defense systems, hospitals, stoplights, and schools are just a few examples of how much of an impact, computers and their software security have on the lives of everyone. This realization makes the potential effects of a malicious breach of software security, a frightening scenario. Chaos and complete disarray would be the condition in populated ares, almost immediately. It is critical that software security is constantly monitored and routinely examined for ways to improve its overall effectiveness. Personal computers comprise a majority of systems in use today and software security is crucial for this market especially. Anti virus software, along with secure networks and firewalls, all assist individual software security, in an attempt to challenge the efforts from hackers and individuals who try and carry out internet based crimes.Software can come under attack during development, distribution and installation, operation, and even while it is maintained. In the development stage, the party doing the development may create corruption in the program that compromises the integrity of the software security. During distribution and installation problems may arise if strong efforts are not made to ensure that the software is tamper proof. Installing the program or transmitting it through non secured channels, also creates challenges for the software security, which are easily avoided if proper care and consideration are in place. Once software reaches the stages where it is fully operational, software security issues may present themselves if updated security patches are not regularly installed and if networks are not properly secured. Other factors that play into the level of software security are whether the internet is hooked up the network and also if the network is public or private. The more users that can access the software, the higher the risk will be for a software security issue. Throughout the lifespan of the software, security threats will continue to create obstacles so remaining proactive is key. Not only will threats come from outside the software's network, but from trusted members on the inside as well. Although the malicious motivations of insiders may not be clear, the potential hazards create clear and present danger.
