Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle

The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is a structured process that integrates security and privacy practices into the creation of software. It involves steps like planning, designing, coding, testing, and releasing software with security in mind. The goal is to identify and fix vulnerabilities early, reducing the risk of security issues after release. By following the SDL, Microsoft ensures their products are safer for users and better equipped to withstand cyber threats, making security an integral part of software development from start to finish.
