Secure coding

Writing code is at the heart of every software development project. Perhaps your project requires you to follow strict secure coding standards.

Secure coding practices apply throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Getting started is often difficult. Secure coding requirements can be ambiguous or not sufficiently defined. Understanding which requirements apply is challenging and takes time.

Once a project starts, maintaining secure coding standards requires great care. At the beginning things may look good, but as due dates come closer code quality often suffers first.

Many companies encounter the following obstacles:

  • New programming languages and lack of familiarity cause delays or critical vulnerabilities.
  • Teams lack confidence in the security and reliability of third-party dependencies.
  • The tooling surrounding programming languages is complex. It takes years of experience to set up and work efficiently.
  • As platforms and languages evolve, it’s difficult to keep up-to-date with changes.
