Section 1: Lesson 1 - Software Security

Key Terms

hardware

the physical components of a computer or electronic system

deployment phase

during this phase of the SDLC, security is pushed out

design phase

during this phase of the SDLC, requirements are prepared for the technical design

end of life phase

during this phase of the SDLC, the proper steps for removing software completely are considered

implementation phase

during this phase of the SDLC, the resources involved in the application from a known resource are determined

maintenance phase

during this phase of the SDLC, ongoing security monitoring is implemented

planning phase

during this phase of the SDLC, a vision and next steps are created

requirement phase

during this phase of the SDLC, necessary software requirements are determined

secure code

a principle design in coding that refers to code security best practices, safeguards, and protection against vulnerabilities

security development life cycle (SDL)

a process that standardizes security best practices

software

the program and operating systems used by a computer

software development life cycle (SDLC)

a structured process that enables the production of software

testing phase

during this phase of the SDLC, software is tested to verify its functions through a known environment

threat modeling

a structured process to protect against vulnerabilitie

SDLC phase sequence

Planning → Requirement → Design → Implementation → Testing → Deployment → Maintenance → End of life
