Software Development Security

Оглавление

Information systems rely on software, so proper security is essential for the tools and processes used to develop software. This includes both custom-built software as well as purchased system components that are integrated into information systems. Cloud computing is changing the paradigm of software development, so this domain also includes security requirements for computing resources that are consumed as a service like software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and emerging architectures like containerization and microservices.

Software can be both a target for attackers and the attack vector. The increasingly complex software environment makes use of open-source software, prebuilt modules and libraries, and distributed applications to provide greater speed for developers and functionality for users. These business advantages, however, introduce risks like the potential for untrustworthy third-party code to be included in an application or attackers targeting remote access features.

Adequate security in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) requires a combined approach addressing people, process, and technology. This domain revisits the critical personnel security concept of training, with a specific focus on developer security training. Well-documented software development methodologies, guidelines, and procedures are essential process controls covered in the domain. Technology controls encompassing both the software development environment and software security testing are presented, as well as testing approaches for application security (AppSec) including static and dynamic testing.
