Information Security in Software Development

The key problem for breach of Information Security needs to consider whether the software is developed with the proper implementation of Information Security during its development phase. If the developer is not properly educated about the information security. The software security depends upon the processes or technologies chosen and its accountability can be ascribed to those who have developed it.

Challenges

1. Vulnerabilities that may arise in the software development can be cut down, if the software developer is properly educated how to employ the information security into it.
2. It’s not all about focusing the coding part but it requires to consider other security aspects from its start and it must check out all the nuances during the development of a software/ application.
3. Why treating the security as add-on does not work and how a developer can be educated effectively for the implementation of information security.
