NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released various guidelines and frameworks for secure software development. One of the critical resources NIST provides is the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), designed to help organizations enhance the security of their software development processes. Here’s an overview of the NIST SSDF:
- Secure software development guidelines: NIST’s SSDF provides guidance on secure software development practices. It covers many topics, including requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance, with a strong focus on security.
- Secure software development principles: The framework promotes fundamental security principles and best practices to be integrated into every phase of the software development life cycle. These principles include secure coding, security testing, threat modeling, and secure software architecture. ...
