- What I Learned:
- A successful security approach must have layers of protection spread across the computers, networks, programs, apps, and data that you intend to protect.
- The growth of software increases the probability of risks and complexity.
- 5 Primary factors that lead to software vulnerabilities:
- Pressure to meet project deadlines
- Lack of training or understanding of secure coding practices
- Accidental coding errors
- Lack of quality assurance and testing procedures
- Product dev tools that have inherent bugs
- How the activity relates to coursework or your career goals:
- I want to enhance security frameworks and assess & manage technology risks within organizations.
