| | Introducing the Trustworthy Systems Manifesto CISQ has launched a Trustworthy Systems Manifesto outlining 5 principles for secure and trustworthy software. The objective? Software-intensive systems are one of the largest sources of risk to enterprises and their customers. IT-related incidents at Knight Capital, SWIFT, Target, and United Airlines, for example, far exceeded $100 million in damages. This Manifesto was written in the era of 9-digit glitches to help management enact policies that strengthen software development and mitigate the risk exposure of these systems.

| | The Cost of Poor Software Quality in the US: A 2018 Report  A new CISQ research report concludes that poor software quality is costing the U.S. upwards of $2.84 trillion dollars this year taking into account losses from software failures, legacy system problems, technical debt, finding and fixing defects, and troubled or cancelled projects. This report examines how much the world is spending on IT software today and the fundamental issues causing problems. Looking backwards, legacy IT systems are holding us captive, looking forwards, technology innovations are coming faster and faster, and looking at present day, we're facing highly vulnerable and deficient systems-of-systems. The report was written by Herb Krasner, a member of CISQ’s Advisory Board and retired Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. The report was commissioned by CA.
