Establishing a Secure Software Development Platform

After establishing secure development processes, as presented in the previous chapter, this chapter will focus on practical activities and tooling to help you establish a secure software development platform. Using this platform helps organizations to develop secure software for automotive Internet of Things (IoT) use cases systematically and efficiently.

This chapter starts by discussing relevant cybersecurity activities that automotive organizations should perform during the secure software development life cycle (SSDLC). Then, we’ll review the importance of establishing a project inventory to achieve a better overall understanding of the security posture of all relevant automotive IoT projects. The project inventory helps manage activities during the SSDLC. Please note that the focus of this chapter is on the development phase. Thus, for the development phase, we’ll provide step-by-step practical guidance on how...
