Secure Testing and Lifecycle Management (CSSLP) Flashcards
ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| Define code review | Systematic examination of source code to identify errors, ensure adherence to standards, and enhance security |
| Define dynamic analysis | Testing software during execution to uncover runtime vulnerabilities |
| Define patch management | Process of distributing and applying updates to systems and software to fix vulnerabilities |
| Define regression testing in secure testing | Verifies that software changes do not negatively impact existing functionality or introduce new vulnerabilities |
| Define software lifecycle management | The process of planning, developing, testing, deploying, maintaining, and retiring software securely |
| Define static analysis | Examining source code or binaries without executing the program to find vulnerabilities |
| Define zero-day vulnerabilities | Software flaws exploited by attackers before developers have time to address them |
| Describe the importance of secure coding practices | Minimizes potential vulnerabilities and improves overall software robustness |
| Describe the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) | A systematic approach to integrating security into every phase of software development |
| Describe what OWASP stands for | Open Web Application Security Project, a nonprofit foundation focused on improving software security |
| Differentiate functional vs non-functional testing | Functional testing verifies correct output; non-functional tests assess performance, reliability, and security |
| Explain continuous integration in secure testing | Automates code builds and tests to identify and address vulnerabilities early |
| Explain risk assessment in software projects | Identifies and evaluates potential hazards to prioritize mitigation strategies |
| Explain the importance of vulnerability assessments | Identifies weaknesses that could be exploited, enhancing overall system security |
| Explain the role of automated testing in secure lifecycle management | Speeds up detection of vulnerabilities and verifies security consistently during development |
| Explain the role of penetration testing in secure testing | Simulates attacks to discover exploitable vulnerabilities in a controlled environment |
| Explain threat modeling | Process to identify, understand, and mitigate potential security threats to an application |
| Identify the purpose of secure software testing | Validate that software functions as intended while identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities |
| Identify tools for dynamic analysis | Examples include fuzz testers, debuggers, and performance profilers |
| Identify tools for static analysis | Examples include code analyzers like SonarQube, Checkmarx, and Fortify |
| List common types of software testing | Examples include functional, regression, performance, penetration, and security testing |
| List the benefits of secure lifecycle management | Ensures security throughout development, reduces risks, and creates more reliable, compliant software |
This deck emphasizes approaches for secure software testing, dynamic and static analysis, vulnerability assessments, and security management throughout the lifecycle.
