Maybe it is just the US Department of Defense environment where I am currently working but I see developers start to see this as cool and sexy. Most are picking it up quickly and a few are even interested in diving in deep into the security world. They ask great questions and are doing a lot of independent research on it. We are in an environment where they get security awareness training a few times a year and are constantly bombarded with security messages but some of them really are getting into it. It gives them something new to learn and it is driving them to go deeper into some development subjects that they normally would not ever be allowed to look at due to delivery schedules. Security is giving them a good excuse to go learn more. -- Mike Lyman mlyman at west-point.org
