CISSP Crash Course - Security Controls in the SDLC

The video tutorial covers security controls in the SDLC, discussing the choice of programming languages, third-party libraries, and development tools. It explains the importance of runtime environments and security assurance in the SDLC pipeline. The tutorial introduces DevOps and the CICD pipeline, highlighting their roles in integrating development and operations. It also covers SORE for security orchestration and response, SCM and code repositories for version control, and various application security testing methods.

What is a key factor in choosing a programming language for software development?

• The skill set of the development team

• The number of available fonts

• The size of the monitor

• The color of the IDE

Why are third-party libraries used in software development?

• To increase the number of lines of code

• To leverage pre-existing solutions

• To make the code more complex

• To avoid using any external resources

What is the role of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in software development?

• To serve as a runtime environment

• To provide a platform for writing and testing code

• To replace the need for a programming language

• To act as a database management system

What is the purpose of security assurance in the SDLC?

• To reduce the number of developers needed

• To ensure the software is free of vulnerabilities

• To increase the software's runtime speed

• To enhance the graphical user interface

How does DevOps change the traditional software development process?

• By separating development and operations teams

• By integrating development and operations teams

• By focusing solely on hardware development

• By eliminating the need for quality assurance

What is the main difference between continuous delivery and continuous deployment?

• Continuous deployment stops at the testing phase

• Continuous deployment requires manual approval for production deployment

• Continuous delivery requires manual approval for production deployment

• Continuous delivery automates the entire process to production

What does SOAR stand for in the context of security?

• Security Operation and Repair

• Software Optimization and Response

• Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response

• System Operation and Recovery

What is the function of a runbook in security automation?

• To manually verify incidents

• To automate the response to incidents

• To create new security vulnerabilities

• To replace the need for human oversight

What is the primary purpose of Source Code Management (SCM)?

• To store and manage source code and artifacts

• To design user interfaces

• To compile code into machine language

• To encrypt all data in the software

What is the focus of static application security testing (SAST)?

• Testing the application in a running state

• Analyzing the code without executing it

• Simulating network traffic

• Monitoring user interactions
