How can you ensure you’re delivering secure software to market?

SD Elements helps companies build software that is secure by design.

 

It does this by “shifting left”: introducing security controls early in the software development process, and then tracking implementation of these controls throughout the software development lifecycle.

TECHNOLOGY

To avoid security weaknesses, each phase of your software development process must include the appropriate security analysis, defenses, and countermeasures to avoid vulnerabilities or security holes that hackers could exploit.

However, the security expertise needed to solve these issues can be hard to find. Manual processes for documenting and verifying security requirements are still widespread. Consistent implementation of security controls across dozens, or even hundreds, of projects isa daunting challenge. Software vulnerabilities are found far too late in the release cycle. Their remediation can be expensive and time-consuming, delaying software release, and ultimately impacting your bottom line.

THE BENEFITS

SD Elements helps you ensure software security is included from the very beginning of software development, enabling you to deliver more secure, compliant software faster.
