Secure Software Development
Secure software development emphasizes the integration of security throughout the entire development lifecycle, creating a DevSecOps culture. Key practices include secure coding, utilizing automated security checks within CI/CD pipelines, and conducting effective threat modeling to identify vulnerabilities early. Fostering a security-first culture is essential for enhancing software security in modern development environments.

What we have learnt
- DevSecOps integrates security into every stage of the software development process.
- Implementing secure coding practices is crucial to prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and XSS.
- Automated security tools within CI/CD pipelines are vital for early detection of security flaws.
- Threat modeling plays a significant role in proactively assessing risks associated with software.
- Cultivating a security-first culture improves collaboration and accountability for security within development teams.
Key Concepts
- -- DevSecOps
- A methodology that integrates security practices within the DevOps process, promoting collaboration between development, security, and operations teams.
- -- Threat Modeling
- A structured approach to identify and assess potential threats to a system, enabling early detection and mitigation strategies.
- -- SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
- A testing method that analyzes source code or binaries for vulnerabilities without executing the program.
- -- DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
- A testing method that observes a running application to identify vulnerabilities during its execution.
- -- CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment)
- A set of practices that enable development teams to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably through automation.
