The Development Services department is the knowledge center within ABN AMRO for everything concerning software development. It’s goal is to continuously improve the quality of the software development process and it’s deliverables. To accomplish that mission, we harvest best practices from the development community and translate these into standards and guidelines. Common for all technologies is the need for strong security. The Secure Coding (SECO) team takes care of all matters concerning the security of software development. A Domain Expert for SECO helps development teams in the organisation with improving the quality of security of their products.

Team activities

The SECO team manages the ABN AMRO ruleset for tools like Fortify and NexusLC in collaboration with the ABN AMRO developer communities and QA authority. We look into security issues in the Code and give teams advice on how to remediate this. If teams create tickets to request exceptions, we evaluate these cases. Also we investigate possibilities to improve code security within the bank and we allocate a part of our time to investigate existing or develop new security tools.
