Episode 103: Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

Security that begins in production is already behind schedule. In this episode, we take a holistic view of the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), explaining how security is integrated into every phase of software creation—from planning and design to development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. You'll learn how threat modeling, secure coding standards, automated testing, and static/dynamic analysis help catch vulnerabilities early—before attackers do.

We’ll also explore how DevSecOps practices bring security into the CI/CD pipeline, and how analysts collaborate with development teams to define and enforce controls. This episode prepares you to speak fluently about software security during assessments, audits, and CySA+ scenario questions. More importantly, it positions you as a partner to engineering—not just an obstacle. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
