This module transitions you from reactive security measures to proactive, built-in security. You will learn the core principles of the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC), exploring how to integrate security at every phase from initial design to final deployment. We will dive deep into industry-standard threat modeling methodologies like STRIDE and PASTA, teaching you how to identify, quantify, and mitigate architectural risks before code is even written. The module also covers secure coding fundamentals, software composition analysis, and the implementation of automated security gates in CI/CD pipelines. It culminates in a hands-on guided lab where you will perform a complete threat model on a sample application architecture and design a comprehensive mitigation strategy.
