Abstract
Secure coding guidelines are essential material used to train and raise awareness of software developers on the topic of secure software development. In industrial environments, since developer time is costly, and training and education is part of non-productive hours, it is important to address and stress the most important topics first. In this work, we devise a method, based on publicly available real-world vulnerability databases and secure coding guideline databases, to rank important secure coding guidelines based on defined industry-relevant metrics. The goal is to define priorities for a teaching curriculum on raising cybersecurity awareness of software developers on secure coding guidelines. Furthermore, we do a small comparison study by asking computer science students from university on how they rank the importance of secure coding guidelines and compare the outcome to our results.
