How to Incorporate Security Into Your company’s SDLC (SDLC)
It has been shown that if you follow a proven collection of practices for developing, designing, testing, implementing, and maintaining your software, you will produce a much higher quality product. Over the past few years, we have seen an increasing number of cases of attacks on the application layer. The Open Web Application Security Project, OWASP, estimates that around one-third of web applications contain security vulnerabilities. Security should always be considered from the beginning of the project until its conclusion. Thus, bringing security into the mainstream of the software development life cycle (SDLC) is important. Implementing a secured SDLC helps you to produce an application that is more likely to meet the needs of your users. You will be balancing the security of the application with performance and stability from the start of the project, until the completion of the project when you deliver the software.
