Security in Software Development - Codearrest.pptx

Security in software development is a critical aspect that ensures the protection of software systems from threats, vulnerabilities, and malicious attacks. It involves integrating security practices throughout the software development lifecycle, from initial design to deployment and maintenance. Key practices include threat modeling, secure coding, regular code reviews, and rigorous testing to identify and mitigate potential risks. By prioritizing security, developers can safeguard sensitive data, maintain user trust, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, ultimately leading to robust and reliable software solutions.

1. Security in Software Development Best Practices and Tools

2. Agenda

3. COMMON SECURITY THREATS SQL Injection Injecting malicious SQL code to retrieve or manipulate data Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)  Stealing session cookies or redirecting to malicious sites Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)  Changing user settings or making unauthorized transactions Buffer Overflow  Executing arbitrary code or crashing the system

4. Secure Coding Practices Input Validation Description: Ensuring all inputs are verified and sanitized Examples: Whitelisting, regex validation Authentication and Authorization Description: Implementing strong authentication mechanisms and access controls Examples : Multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC)

5. Secure Coding Practices Error Handling Description: Properly managing errors without revealing sensitive information Examples: Generic error messages , logging errors securely Encryption Description: Protecting data at rest and in transit Examples: SSL/TLS for data in transit, AES for data at rest

6. Security Analysis Tools Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools: SonarQube, Fortify, Checkmarx Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Tools: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, AppScan

7. Security Analysis Tools Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) Tools: Contrast Security , Veracode Dependency Scanning Tools: Snyk , Dependabot , WhiteSource

8. Best Practices Regular Security Training Ensuring development teams are aware of the latest security threats and mitigation strategies Adopting a Security-First Mindset Integrating security considerations into every phase of the development lifecycle

9. Best Practices Automating Security Checks Using CI/CD pipelines to incorporate automated security testing Implementing Security Policies Defining and enforcing security policies within the organization

10. Conclusion Security is not a one-time effort but a continuous journey. Stay vigilant, stay updated, and make security a core part of your development culture.
