What Is Secure Coding?

Secure coding is the practice of integrating protective measures and vulnerability remediation into the software development process. It enables developers to account for vulnerabilities and security issues during all phases of the software development lifecycle. 

Secure coding involves checking for vulnerabilities in libraries, languages, third-party code, and custom source code, prioritizing identified issues, and fixing them timely. Additionally, it requires designing security into the code while accounting for the intended production environment.
