Fundamentals of Secure Software - Software and Data Integrity Failures

The video tutorial discusses the software development process, highlighting potential data integrity failures and malicious attacks. It explains how code moves from idea to production, the role of developers, and the build pipeline. The tutorial also covers how malicious actors can exploit software integrity by hosting malicious code or libraries. Prevention techniques such as using verified libraries and scanning for vulnerabilities are suggested. The SolarWinds attack is presented as a case study to illustrate the impact of such threats. The video concludes with a summary and a look forward to the next section.
