In June 2007, the Manager of Fortify's Security Research Group, Jacob West, along with Fortify's Chief Scientist, Brian Chess, published a book entitled Secure Programming with Static Analysis. As the first of its kind, it serves as a complete guide to static analysis: how it works, how to integrate it into the software development processes and how to make the most of it during security code review. Incorporating real-world security examples, the book shows how coding errors are exploited, how they could have been prevented and how static analysis can rapidly uncover similar mistakes.
