- +Related to: security-by-design, devsecops
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Security Practices
Developers should learn and apply Security Practices to build resilient software that safeguards sensitive data, maintains user trust, and meets regulatory requirements like GDPR or HIPAA
Pros
- +It is crucial in industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce, where security lapses can lead to financial losses, legal penalties, and reputational damage
- +Related to: secure-coding, threat-modeling
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
