- Identify security requirements: Identify and document the security requirements for the application or system that is being developed. This includes identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities.
- Integration into the SDLC: Incorporate security into the software development life cycle (SDLC) by integrating security testing and other security practices into the development process.
- Use of automation: Use automated tools and processes to integrate security into the SDLC. This includes using tools such as static code analysis, dynamic analysis, and penetration testing.
- Continuous monitoring: Implement continuous monitoring to detect and respond to security breaches in real-time. This includes using tools such as intrusion detection and prevention systems and security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
- Collaboration: Encourage collaboration between development, operations, and security teams to ensure that security is integrated throughout the SDLC.
- Security training: Provide training to developers and other team members on secure coding practices and other security-related topics.
- Compliance: Ensure that the application or system being developed complies with relevant security regulations and standards.
- Continual improvement: Continuously monitor, assess, and improve the security of the application or system throughout its lifecycle.
