Developing Secure Apps
- 1. DEVELOPING SECURE APPS Presented By Nandana SV Livares Technologies Pvt Ltd Tech & Socio-Cultural Group
- 2. Developing Secure Apps : Overview App security is of paramount importance in today's digital landscape, where mobile applications handle ● sensitive user information ● perform critical functions. Without proper security measures, apps are vulnerable to attacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Therefore, developers must prioritize app security to protect user data and maintain user trust.

- 10. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) The Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) is a methodology used in software development to integrate security practices throughout the entire software development process. The primary goal of SDL is to create software that is secure by design and resilient to potential threats.
- 11. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) 1. Requirements and Design 2. Threat Modeling 3. Secure Coding / Code review 4. Testing 5. Deployment and Maintenance 6. Response and Recovery
- 12. Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) SDL is an iterative process that emphasizes continuous improvement and learning from security incidents and evolving threats. It aims to build security into the software development lifecycle from the outset rather than treating it as an afterthought. By integrating security practices throughout the development process, SDL helps organizations create more secure and resilient software products.
- 13. Best Practices for Secure App Development Secure app development involves implementing a set of best practices to ensure that the applications being developed are robust against potential security threats. Here are some key best practices for secure app development: 1. Use Secure Coding Practices 2. Implement Strong Authentication and Authorization 3. Encrypt Sensitive Data 4. Regularly Update and Patch Software 5. Validate and Sanitize Input

- 18. Bug Bounty programs A bug bounty program, also known as a vulnerability rewards program (VRP), offers rewards to individuals for uncovering and reporting software bugs. As part of a vulnerability management strategy, these crowdsourcing initiatives are often used by companies to supplement penetration tests and internal code audits. https://www.guru99.com/bug-bounty-programs.html
- 19. Conclusion ● Secure app development involves integrating security practices throughout the software development lifecycle. ● User data privacy is crucial, and compliance with relevant regulations ● Obtaining user consent, handling data securely, and providing transparent privacy policies are important aspects of user data privacy. ● Rigorous testing and security audits throughout the development process help identify and address security weaknesses and vulnerabilities.Types of tests include penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, code review, security architecture review, and API security testing. ● User education and awareness are vital for overall app security. ● Clear instructions, security tips, and promoting safe user behaviors help prevent common security risks. ● Developing secure apps is essential to protect user data, maintain trust, and mitigate the risk of security breaches.
