Fundamentals of Secure Software - Use, Abuse, and Misuse cases

The video tutorial discusses use cases in software engineering, focusing on abuse and misuse cases. It explains how these cases identify negative scenarios that could harm a system, leading to the development of new requirements to enhance security. A sample abuse case involving user authentication is presented, highlighting threats like brute force attacks. The tutorial concludes with strategies to mitigate these threats, such as showing generic error messages and locking accounts after failed attempts.
