Implementation of these practices will mitigate most common software vulnerabilities.  \nGenerally, it is much less expensive to build secure software than to correct security issues after the software package has been completed, not to mention the costs that may be associated with a security breach.  \nSecuring critical software resources is more important than ever as the focus of attackers has steadily moved toward the application layer. A 2009 SANS study 1 found that attacks against web applications constitute more than 60% of the total attack attempts observed on the Internet.  \nWhen utilizing this guide, development teams should start by assessing the maturity of their secure software development lifecycle and the knowledge level of their development staff. Since this guide does not cover the details of how to implement each coding practice, developers will either need to have the prior knowledge or have sufficient resources available that provide the necessary guidance. This guide provides coding practices that can be translated into coding requirements without the need for the developer to have an in depth understanding of security ","cbCaipBzhvbR8oYL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipBzhvbR8oYL","pdf",253495,"English","# Introduction\n# Software Security and Risk Principles Overview\n# Secure Coding Practices Checklist\n## Input Validation\n## Output Encoding\n## Authentication and Password Management\n## Session Management\n## Access Control\n## Cryptographic Practices\n## Error Handling and Logging\n## Data Protection\n## Communication Security\n## System Configuration\n## Database Security\n## File Management\n## Memory Management\n## General Coding Practices\n# Appendix A\n# External References\n# Appendix B\n# Glossary","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick Reference Guide?\",\"answer\":\"It defines a set of general software security coding practices in checklist form that can be integrated into the software development lifecycle to mitigate common vulnerabilities.\"},{\"question\":\"How should development teams use the guide in their process?\",\"answer\":\"Teams should assess the maturity of their secure software development lifecycle and the knowledge level of staff, then map the practices into coding requirements using existing expertise or resources for implementation details.\"},{\"question\":\"What security goal does the guide target?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information resources through security controls, emphasizing technical controls that mitigate common software vulnerabilities.\"}]","OWASP Secure Coding Practices Quick Reference Guide | PDF",1791930346,6]
