For cases where there is homebrew software being developed and deployed, implementing a secure development lifecycle (SDL) is key. Implementing a secure software development life cycle (SDLC) involves integrating security practices at every phase of the software development process. The following table shows the different phases that are involved in the SDLC and their key activities:
