Secure Software Development Series Course Two – Secure Software Requirements

Security requirements help make a project’s security needs explicit before software is built. This course introduces identifying, organizing and tracing those requirements within the development process.

Functional and nonfunctional requirements provide a starting point. Policy decomposition and data classification connect organizational expectations with the information and behavior a system must handle.

Describe needs from several perspectives

Subject-object matrices, use cases and misuse cases are covered alongside regulatory, industry, legal and privacy requirements. A security requirements traceability matrix connects individual requirements with the wider project.

The course includes conceptual discussion, whiteboard material and review questions. It is introductory training without programming exercises or hands-on labs, aimed at learners building a foundation in secure software development.
