SSDLC - Secure Software Development Cycle

Incorporating Security at Every Stage: SSDLC ensures that security considerations are addressed from planning and design to building, release, maintenance, and updates.

Here are the key aspects of SSDLC:

Phases of SSDLC:

  • Requirements Gathering: Understanding project requirements.
  • Design: Creating secure architecture.
  • Development: Writing code with security in mind.
  • Testing and Verification: Confirming that capabilities meet requirements.
  • Deployment: Releasing the project.
  • Maintenance and Evolution: Continual security improvements.


Why Is SSDLC Important?: With potential vulnerabilities in mind, developers need to integrate security into the SDLC. This approach reduces the risk of security issues in production and ensures robust application security.
