Principles of Secure Design
Adopt a security-first mindset by learning design principles like attack surface reduction, defense in depth, and trust boundaries.
Introduction to Secure Design
Welcome to Principles of Secure Design! In this lesson, we'll explore how to build security into your backend applications from the ground up, rather than adding it as an afterthought.
Adopting a security-first mindset early in the development process is crucial for preventing vulnerabilities and protecting sensitive data.
Shift Left for Security
The concept of "Shift Left" means integrating security practices and considerations into the earliest phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- It's about proactive security, not reactive.
- Finding and fixing security flaws in the design phase is far less costly than fixing them after deployment.
- Think about security from planning to coding, testing, and deployment.
