Software Development Vulnerabilities

Module 7 lab activity, a backdoor was created for a target system. For ease of support and maintenance, software developers will sometimes create backdoors, which often leave an organization with unanticipated vulnerabilities.

We introduced the open-source non-profit OWASP in Module 5. In this module, you will evaluate the practical application of OWASP’s Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) which is designed to analyze and reduce vulnerabilities introduced in the software development lifecycle.

Download the OWASP SAMM here: SAMM Assessment Toolbox.

In your initial post, please write a few sentences each addressing the questions below:

How can the model help an organization identify, analyze and remediate software development vulnerabilities by leveraging secure software development processes?
What are the shortcomings and shortfalls of interview models such as this?
How would you approach the identification of a system-level backdoor differently than the identification of a backdoor in an application?For more information on software development vulnerabilities check on this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulnerability_(computing)
