Software Development Security Controls
Software development security controls are measures implemented throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to mitigate application vulnerabilities. Such controls focus on secure coding practices and secure coding standards. Secure coding practices help developers write code that mitigates vulnerabilities. Secure coding standards are rules that developers must follow to ensure code meets baseline levels of security. Both coding practices and secure coding standards cover the entire lifecycle of development.
Computer programming, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and software security automation help implement effective software security controls and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities being introduced into applications. You will first learn about security around computer programming.
In the context of CI/CD, security controls focus on integrating security checks into the pipeline. This includes using static...
