Essential Security in Software Development

Integrating robust security into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is crucial in a world where every system is a potential target. This involves using developer-friendly, comprehensive application security tools. The goal is to enhance security without impeding developer productivity, which is achieved by embedding automated security processes within the DevOps pipeline, embodying true DevSecOps.

Here are the 10 best measures you can take to protect your development supply chain:

• Select and manage open-source packages effectively.
• Implement a proactive shift-left strategy.
• Go beyond scanning for known vulnerabilities.
• Extend your security scans beyond your code.
• Create a robust Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
• Use automation to boost development while enhancing security.
• Strike the perfect balance between security and compliance.
• Apply security policies both globally and at the project level.
• Collaborate with leading application security vendors.
