RISK ASSESMENT AND ANALYSIS
Risk assessment is the combined effort of
identifying and analyzing potential (future)
events that may negatively impact individuals,
assets, and/or the environment (i.e. hazard
analysis); and making judgments "on the
tolerability of the risk on the basis of a risk
analysis" while considering influencing factors
(i.e. risk evaluation).
THREAT MODELLING
Threat modeling is a process by which
potential threats, such as structural
vulnerabilities or the absence of appropriate
safeguards, can be identified, enumerated, and
mitigations can be prioritized.
ATTACK SURFACE ANALYSIS
Attack Surface Analysis is about mapping out what parts of a system
need to be reviewed and tested for security vulnerabilities. The point of
Attack Surface Analysis is to understand the risk areas in an
application, to make developers and security specialists aware of what
parts of the application are open to attack, to find ways of minimizing
this, and to notice when and how the Attack Surface changes and what
this means from a risk perspective.

TOOLS
DESCRIPTION
DELIVERABLES
• Report from SonarCube
• Security issues while debugging applications
• Integration of scanning tool into CI/CD pipeline
A static code scan and dependency checks are the
first step towards truly understanding where your
products weaknesses lie, and how critical they
might be to your business’ continuity and
reputation.

10. Release
obtaining feedback from end-users in order to
make appropriate tweaks
confirming that the software in production
meets customer and user needs according to
the initial requirements
conducting maintenance and support tasks
FACTORS
confirming that the software works as optimally
in the production environment as it did in the
development environment
The release phase of the Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC) is traditionally associated with production,
deployment, and post-production activities.
In this phase, post-production tasks (after deployment) in
traditional SDLC models do not greatly involve development
engineers. Operations admins and security engineers
typically complete most of thee functions, which may include
software monitoring, security testing, incident response, etc.
In the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC),
developers are responsible for completing additional security
tasks, which - even in the post-production stage of the
release phase - integrates security with development.
