Secure and Safe Software
Security and safety means securing against cyberattacks by malicious actors who wish to steal sensitive information or disrupt operations, and protecting information and solutions from accidental loss and mishandling. This includes physical safety protocols like strong passwords multi-factor authentication, as well as encryption.
The key to having a secure and safe product is during the design phase. Ideally, a business will incorporate security into the software development life cycle (SDLC) rather than treating it as an afterthought. It should be included in the planning phase, well before the first code line is written.
It is vital to clearly identify and set security requirements. Developers should be trained to develop in accordance with these specifications. They must also use the best tools to find weaknesses when testing. They should also employ secure programming techniques, and communicate standards to third-party vendors while ensuring the compliance. It’s also important to make sure that the product is secured in the event of a release, using transparent vulnerability reports and phishing-resistant methods of authentication.
Additionally, companies can utilize automated SAST instead of manually checking their code for MISRA-compliance. A tool such as Klocwork can save time and allow a consistent, efficient approach to reviewing MISRA-compliance.
