Secure and Safe Software
Safety and security means protecting against cyberattacks by malicious actors who wish to steal sensitive data or disrupt operations, and safeguarding information and solutions against accidental loss and misuse. This includes physical security protocols, such as strong passwords, multifactor authentication and encryption.
The key to having a secure and safe product lies in the design phase. Ideally, a business will incorporate security into the software development life cycle (SDLC) instead of treating it as an afterthought. It should be incorporated into the planning phase, well before the first code line is written.
It is crucial to be able to clearly define and define security requirements. Developers should be trained to develop according to these specifications. They should also be using the most effective tools to identify weaknesses when testing. They should also utilize secure methods of coding, and communicate standards to third-party vendors and verify the compliance. It’s also important to make sure that the product is secured following release by transparent vulnerability reports and phishing-resistant methods of authentication.
In the end, companies can employ automated SAST instead of manually reviewing their code for MISRA compliance. A tool like Klocwork will help reduce time and provide a consistent, efficient method of reviewing MISRA compliance.
