People attack software deliberately to steal highly sensitive as well as personal information with the sole intention of carrying out well-funded, destructive and unethical goals that could harm individuals, nations or the whole world. Available technological controls could be implemented to tighten access and minimize persistent threats but the complete solution of secure software could only be provided by changing the behavior of the people involved. This can be achieved through effective security awareness techniques implemented by individuals because they are, in most cases, the first target for gaining access into the system. This paper highlights the utility of security awareness with the help of recent published work for building more secure software. In addition, areas that need further investigations are identified in the paper.
