ABSTRACT
IBM Systems Sciences Institute, in its research work on implementing software inspections, determined that it was 100 times more expensive to fix software bugs after the software is in production than when it is being designed. ˜e time that is necessary to fix identified issues is shorter when the software is still in the design phase. ˜e cost savings are substantial because there is minimal to no disruption to business operations. Besides the aforementioned time and cost-saving benefits, there are several other benefits of designing security early in the SDLC. Some of these include the following:
◾ Resilient and recoverable software: Security designed into software decreases the likelihood of attack or errors, which assures resiliency and recoverability of the software.
