In 2024, high-profile cyber breaches serve as stark reminders for developers to prioritize security throughout the software development life cycle. Notably, major incidents involved countless records being compromised. Developers must not only focus on creating functional code but also on writing secure code from the outset. Essential resources such as OWASP's Top 10, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and NIST's National Vulnerability Database provide critical knowledge and guidelines that developers need to effectively mitigate vulnerabilities and stay ahead of complex security challenges.
Security should be a core competency of every developer. Follow these 10 steps to bring security into every phase of the software development life cycle.
If reducing software vulnerabilities isn't already at the top of your development priority list, it should be.
Before developers can defend against sophisticated zero-day attacks, they need to master the fundamentals-starting with known vulnerabilities.
OWASP Top 10, MITRE's tools, and NIST's NVD are essential resources for developers to code securely from day one.
