Testing Software Security

As you design and create products throughout the entire software development lifecycle, you need to test them to ensure they will lead to a high quality finished software product that is secure and will protect the privacy of users.

Maintaining Security in Deployed Software

You've designed, developed, and deployed your application. You tested the application, and were confident in its security when you released it. Now you must make sure that the application remains secure over time.
