Secure Software Development Life Cycle

The Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) integrates security into the software development process from the start, aiming to identify vulnerabilities early and ensure continuous security testing. Key phases include planning, secure design, secure coding, and ongoing security testing. The document highlights the 2017 Equifax data breach as a case where a secure SDLC could have prevented the exposure of personal information due to an unpatched vulnerability.
