Yes, being technically advanced is great, but comes with a serious liability, which is a nefarious actor whose technical abilities tend to be beyond advanced. With this risk brings a new set of challenges of being able to create cybersecurity policies that can mitigate or defeat this level of threat. A major challenge for any organization will be ensuring quality software assurance. Software assurance is a means of instilling confidence that software and services are free from intentional and unintentional vulnerabilities and that the software must also perform as intended. Expectations for the United states federal governments computer network within the fvey economic summit can essentially be broken down into 4 rules. Avoid installing any software which has malware pre-installed. Make sure that no vulnerabilities or exploitable parts of the source code are in the code prior to having the software accepted for operations. Make sure that future discoveries of any common vulnerabilities and exposures can be readily patched. Finally, ensure that the exploitable software that puts the stakeholder most at risk is mitigated before it is accepted for operations Software assurance is proactive and plays an important role in every step of the Software Development Life Cycle. The Software Development Life Cycle is a systematic process utilized by the software industry to design, develop and test quality software, and their aim is to produce high quality software that meets or exceeds customers’ expectations. The SDLC identifies the process involved from the initial survey to the final maintenance of the developed application or software. It comprises a thorough plan describing how to develop, maintain, replace, alter or enhance specific software. [Show More]
