Application Security: Building Secure Software by Design
Application Security: Building Secure Software by Design Software security is not a last step. Attacks exploit gaps in code, configs, and supply chains. Building secure software by design reduces risk, lowers remediation costs, and helps teams ship with confidence. The idea is simple: make security part of how you plan, design, and test. To do this, adopt a secure-by-design mindset. Start with threat modeling to identify who and what is at risk, then choose controls that are clear, testable, and maintainable. Use defense in depth: least privilege, safe defaults, strong authentication, and auditable traces. When security is woven into the architecture, it becomes easier to explain decisions, measure risk, and improve over time. ...
