Week 9

When designing a new application or software product that entails access control, security should be embedded throughout its development.

Compare the software development life cycle to the security development life cycle and describe how each is used to enable testing and how they differ from each other.

Search the Internet and find and describe at least two tools to assist with the software development and security life cycles and discuss the pros and cons of each tool.

After reading a few of your classmate's postings, reply to those from which you learned something new or to which you have something constructive to add. For example:

Discuss what you learned.

Ask probing questions or seek clarification.

Explain why you agree or disagree with your classmate's main points, assertions, assumptions, or conclusions.

Suggest research strategies or specific resources on the topic.

Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' postings. Join the discussion early and post often.
