Day 39 | Secure Software Development Explained: Building Security into Code from Day One

Description

Welcome to Day 39 of the 100 Days of Cybersecurity Challenge. In this video, we break down secure software development and explain why most security vulnerabilities start as coding mistakes. Security is not something you add at the end. It must be built into the development process from the very beginning. We discuss common causes of insecure code, the concept of “shift left” security, and the principles developers should follow to reduce risk. In this video, you will learn: What secure software development really means Why fixing vulnerabilities later is expensive Common coding mistakes that create security flaws What “shift left” security means Core secure coding principles This lesson helps you understand why developers play a critical role in cybersecurity and why secure design is more powerful than reactive fixes.
