Industry best practices suggest that multiple practices be implemented as software is developed and operated to ensure it is optimally secure. These practices have been developed and continue to evolve based on the methodologies hackers are using to exploit applications. While these practices have traditionally been discussed in the context of Waterfall development processes, implementing them in the context of an Agile SDLC is possible if done correctly and with the objective of not losing the advantages of Agile in the process of introducing security. This presentation will discuss the practices and technologies that are industry best practices and how they can successfully be implemented as part of an Agile SDLC.
