We need to cover some extremely important points. For software to be secure and resilient against hackers and other impacts, it must take into account certain foundational concepts of information security. These of course include confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization, accountability, management of sessions, exception and errors, and the configuration parameters.
The candidate is going to be expected to be familiar with these foundational concepts and how to apply them while developing software. They must be familiar with the principles of risk management and governance, as it applies to software development. Regulatory, privacy, and compliance requirements that impose the need for secure software, and the repercussions of non-compliance must also be understood clearly. Trusted computing that can be applied in software that is built in-house or purchased are covered, and it is imperative that the candidate be familiar with their applications.
