I've noticed that certifications seem to be a big part of the IT Security Professional (non-development), but have not seen the same attention being given/required of the software development engineer that focuses on application security or building security software.
Am I wrong, and just not seeing it? Or is it true that security certifications aren't as much needed for devs vs general it professional (network engineers, admins, etc)?
I guess ultimately my question is, will certifications be required for a software development engineer that specializes in software security, SDLC, mostly application security (with some/little hints of network security)?
