Security Development Lifecycle

 

What is the Security Development Lifecycle ?

The Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is a software development security assurance process consisting of security practices grouped by seven phases: training, requirements, design, implementation, verification, release, and response.

 

Why Adopt the SDL?

For Developers	For Business Owners
Build more secure software Better align with compliance activities	Reduce total development cost Determine security priorities

 

Microsoft® Security Development Lifecycle website provide a great resources about the process overall and many tools associated with each phase.

 

I do recommend the site for anyone concerned about implementing the security in the industry standard way!
