How is a secure software development lifecycle different from the standard software development lifecycle? What specific activities are in each? Describe at least one secure lifecycle model.

What is the benchmark that we should use to evaluate software maintenance?

The following is a list of 12 control plans from this chapter or from Chapters 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. These are followed by a list of 10 system failures that have control implications. Match the 10 system failures with a control plan that would best prevent the system failure from occurring. Because there are 12 control plans, you should have two letters left over. Control Plans Digital signature Tickler file of open POs and receiving reports Procedures for rejected inputs Compare input data with master data (e.g., vendor master data) Segregate duties among purchasing, receiving, and accounts payable Program change controls Reconcile bank account Reconcile run-to-run totals Review of a cash planning report Match invoice, PO, and receiving report Access control software Segregate duties between accounts payable and cashier System Failures Wilson Inc. ordered 30 circuit breakers from Elon Electric. Only 25 breakers were received; the other five were on back…
