Security Principles
Software development security principles are guidelines and best practices that help ensure the security of software applications throughout their development life cycle. These principles are essential for protecting sensitive data, preventing security breaches, and maintaining users’ trust.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover security principles by looking at the following main topics:
- What could go wrong?
- Principles
- Open Web Application Security Project
- NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework
- MITRE frameworks
- Software development life cycles
- Microsoft’s Security Development Lifecycle
- Confidentiality, integrity, and availability in software development
The goal of the chapter is to give you a good foundation of some secure software terminology along with an understanding of the current state of the practice. We will reference the topics of this chapter in future chapters.
