    Study Notes

    The text discusses secure software concepts and threats, including the concept of holistic security, software error, fault and failure, and the challenges of software security. It covers the software development life cycle (SDLC) and its models, including the Waterfall model, iterative model, and spiral model. The text also provides guidance on when to use each model and the security processes that should be integrated into the various SDLC phases, such as threat modeling and security design review.1. Expert not from the team is needed to ensure secure design from the start. 2. Static analysis involves automated tools to find issues in source code. 3. Bug finding, style checks, type checks, and security vulnerability review are included in static analysis. 4. Peer review is conducted by developers to ensure code quality and security. 5. Test phase involves loading and testing software in a test environment. 6. Security test cases are built and a special team is assigned for penetration testing. 7. Dynamic analysis is used to catch high-risk vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting and SQL injection. 8. Development team fixes errors found in dynamic analysis. 9. Deployment phase involves installing and configuring software in the production environment. 10. Final review of security risks and periodic monitoring during production are conducted.
