Session: Shift-left security in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Shift-left security in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) refers to the practice of integrating security measures and practices earlier in the development process. It typically starts from the initial stages such as planning and design and continues throughout the entire development lifecycle. This approach helps in identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities early, reducing the cost and effort required to fix them later in the development process or after the software is deployed. Here are some key aspects which will be covered in the session:
Why is it important to have secure development process.
How to incorporate security in each phase of SDLC.
Implementation of security principles in each phase.
How can we achieve shift level security in SDLC process.
