SSPD

SSPD stands for Secure Software Product Development. It is a methodology and set of practices focused on integrating security considerations throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from initial design and requirements gathering to coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. The core principle of SSPD is to build security in from the start, rather than attempting to add it as an afterthought.

This approach aims to reduce vulnerabilities and the overall security risk of software products. Key activities within SSPD include threat modeling, secure coding standards, security testing (such as static and dynamic analysis, penetration testing), security training for developers, and establishing secure development environments. By proactively addressing security at each stage, SSPD seeks to create more resilient and trustworthy software, minimizing the likelihood of security breaches and the associated costs and damages. It is a crucial component of modern cybersecurity strategies for organizations developing and deploying software.
