Principles
Software security principles are fundamental guidelines and best practices that help design, develop, and maintain secure software systems. These principles aim to protect software applications and their data from a wide range of threats and vulnerabilities. Here are some fundamental software security principles:
- Least privilege: Give individuals or processes only the minimum access and permissions they need to perform their tasks. This principle reduces the potential for unauthorized access or abuse of privileges.
- Defense in depth: Implement multiple security controls and safeguards layers rather than relying solely on a single security measure. This approach helps to mitigate risks and reduce the impact of security breaches.
- Fail-safe defaults: Configure systems and applications to operate securely by default. Fail-safe defaults mean that if a configuration or access control is not explicitly defined, it should be denied or disabled.
- Input validation...
