Not sure what you are exactly looking for, but I recently reviewed
the book
Integrating Security and Software Engineering: Advances and
Future Vision, Mouratidis H., Giorgini P., IGI Global, 2006,
ISBN-10: 1599041480, ISBN-13: 978-1599041483.
for Computing Reviews. (Review was posted online a 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Not sure if it's still up or not.) The cost for the book on Amazon.com
is ~$80.
This book covered some of the "gaps" that you may be referring to. E.g.,
it covered quite a few secure design methodologies and how they
(more or less) fit into an SDLC.
NOTE: This book is very academic in nature and difficult reading
and does not truly reflect current _practice_. However, it has a
excellent
bibliography that is useful if you wish to explore the topics more
deeply.
Can't really say much more about this (at least in a public forum)
because
Computing Reviews (http://www.reviews.com/) owns the copyright of the
review.
Contact me off-list if you want any specific question answered regarding
this book.
