CERT’s coding standards are being widely adopted by industry. Cisco Systems, Inc. announced its adoption of the CERT C Secure Coding Standard as a baseline programming standard in its product development in October 2011 at Cisco’s annual SecCon conference. Recently, Oracle has integrated all of CERT’s secure coding standards into its existing secure coding standards. This adoption is the most recent step of a long collaboration: CERT and Oracle previously worked together in authoring The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java (Addison-Wesley, 2011).
