Week 5 - BSIT380-T303 System Hardening and Network R - List general principles for secure software development.

    Secure software development starts with incorporating security into the design process. Principles such as least privilege, where users and systems are given only the minimum necessary access, help limit the impact of potential breaches. Ensuring input validation, regular code reviews, and strong error handling can mitigate common attack vectors like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and information leakage. Additionally, authentication and authorization controls, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), are vital in safeguarding sensitive data and system functions. Encryption is another critical component, as it protects data both in transit and at rest from unauthorized access. Regular patch management is essential for keeping third-party libraries and software up to date, addressing known vulnerabilities. By following these core principles, developers can build secure applications that reduce risks and better protect users and their data from evolving cyber threats.
