experts and a proper management structure. Software developers usually lack application security
expertise but are often responsible for software security when management undervalues software security,
or the SSDLC is too expensive to practice. Software developers must have adequate application security
self-efficacy (SE) to execute software security activities and processes effectively. To improve software
developers’ SE, the factors that impact their SE must be identified. A sample of 200 software developers
based in the United States was surveyed for their SE. The relationship between the factors and SE was
analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation. Application security awareness, the presence of an application
security team, and education level all correlated with software developers’ SE. Security training and
performing multiple application securities did not correlate with software developers’ SE. The results
have practical implications for improving software security.
