01.01: Secure Software and the Software Development Cycle

Secure software and the eight steps, explained for HSC Software Engineering (Year 12, Secure Software Architecture). The two benefits of secure software the syllabus wants you to name (data protection, and minimising cyber attacks and vulnerabilities), and what security work belongs at each of the eight software development steps. Why the cost of a flaw rises at every step, and security built in versus bolted on. In this video: • The breach that came through an unlocked door • The two benefits the syllabus wants you to name • Security at every one of the eight steps • The cost of finding a flaw rises at every step • Security bolted on versus security built in • Exam Lens: a sample question, the marks, the command word, and what a top answer includes Syllabus: NSW HSC Software Engineering (NESA), Year 12, Secure Software Architecture. • Describe the benefits of developing secure software including: data protection; minimising cyber attacks and vulnerabilities • Interpret and apply fundamental software development steps to develop secure code, including: requirements definition, determining specifications, design, development, integration, testing and debugging, installation, maintenance Video 1 of 40 in the Year 12 series.

Made by a NSW teacher for students across the state doing HSC Software Engineering. The content follows the NESA syllabus, but the ideas are the ones any software engineer needs. #HSC #SoftwareEngineering #Year12
