While we understand the need for “Building Software Immunity” and the importance of “Secure Software Engineering Habits“, it is equally essential for heavy lifters such as software architects, tech leads, or senior engineers to ensure that the core of the software i.e. architecture or design is strong and maintained robust throughout the lifecycle of the software. Strengthening muscles of software goes far into the software development process, deployment and operations. Typically, it can be achieved via embedding security in business requirements, following design principles, and secure design approaches.
Embedding Security in Requirements
Incorporating security concerns in the early phases of software development is far easier and cost-effective as many common pitfalls can be avoided that get harder to fix later. There are two approaches that can be taken while defining security requirements:
