Learning Objectives
- Explore the functional and operational requirements for building secure software
Intended Audience
This course is designed for those looking to take the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) certification, or for anyone interested in the topics it covers.
Prerequisites
Any experience relating to information security would be advantageous, but not essential. All topics discussed are thoroughly explained and presented in a way allowing the information to be absorbed by everyone, regardless of experience within the security field.

So in Domain 2, we have talked at great length about requirements: what they are, where they come from, how we capture them, that some will be operational, some will be functional, some will be non-functional, and some will be derived from other sets of requirements or conditions that we find along the way.
In this, we have presented and amplified the essential qualities for conceiving secure software in the capture, design, and derivation of the various requirements that we need. It shows us how we break down policy into its various parts so that it opens up and informs us about the conceptualization and the design process and how and where to find our requirements. In this, we've introduced the data lifecycle, and we've discussed how the confidentiality and integrity and availability requirements of the CIA triad fit into it.
We have to be sure that we get familiar with, and an attempt has been made in this module, to get you familiar with the data classification cycle and what activities take place at each one. We've gone through and deconstructed the process of identifying, validating, and capturing these requirements. And these will lead eventually to the software product as conceived, or, more often, as it evolves through the cycle. And this will happen in both functional and non-functional aspects.
