Get an overview of what are cybersecurity threats and how to prevent them.

Software security and secure coding practices should be considered from the start of a software project. The beginning of any new software development project can be daunting, as there are many decisions, including those that affect software security, that need to be made and considerations that must be thought through. Often this includes defining project requirements, selecting the right processes, choosing the right tools, and ensuring software security. For that reason, we have organized a step-by-step guide to walk you through the most time-consuming and difficult challenges of a new project to help ensure that yours is a success.

OWASP is an an international nonprofit dedicated to web application security. Learn more about what is OWASP and what software vulnerabilities are on the OWASP Top 10.

Continuous development includes almost every DevOps process. For that reason, it is important to understand what is continuous development to help you ensure that each of your DevOps processes are efficient and effective.

DevSecOps is more than a collection of best practices, it’s a shared mindset that security is the responsibility of everyone on your team. The goal of this shared mindset — to put it simply — is to safely and efficiently implement security decisions throughout the development process without having to comprise safety.

With a growing number of security threats, application security development must be at top of mind when starting a new project. Here, we share application security best practices and highlight what application security tools you should consider using.

An effective DevSecOps pipeline ensures that security is baked in throughout the software development life cycle. Here, we explain each DevSecOps phase of the DevSecOps pipeline and suggest beneficial DevSecOps tools that can help safeguard and secure your software.

To write secure code, you need a secure coding standard — such as CERT, CWE, OWASP, DISA STIG, CVE, or CVSS. Secure coding standards keep software secure.

We explain what is the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), what is the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and how CVSS is used to calculate risk.
