Mozilla is trying to refute the notion that the buggier the software, the less secure it is.
The open-source maker of the Firefox browser is creating a publicly available metrics model that software providers can use to measure the relative security of their products.
Mozilla itself will leverage the model to measure the efficiency of both its development process and the response by Mozilla and its users to Firefox security issues, said independent security consultant Rich Mogull of Securosis, who was tapped to lead the project.
“This is less focused on providing a public number,” Mogull told SCMagazineUS.com on Monday. “It is more about how Mozilla themselves can better track their security effort. The goal of these metrics is to improve Mozilla's ability to understand how they perform security development and respond to security issues and keep their users as safe as possible.”
