Abstract
Software systems are everywhere, and therefore, software security breaches impact every enterprise system. Although the software engineers and system developers are provided with various secure software development guidelines and processes, attacks exploiting software vulnerabilities are on the rise. The prevalence of software vulnerabilities and the increasing number of hacked enterprise systems underline the need for guidance in the design and implementation of secure software. If the software engineers and system developers consider applying and implementing the Secure Design Principles (SDPs), the enterprise systems would be secured against many types of attacks. In this research, we conducted a survey study among participants who have experience in designing and/or developing software (such as native application, browser application, or mobile application) to test their familiarity and working knowledge of SDPs. We also explored if the demographic variables (age, gender, experience, education) are associated with their knowledge of SDPs. We also discovered misconception of secure design principles and gathered participants’ opinions on the ways to implement SDPs.
