Security
Gaining a ISC2 CSSLP certificate in Secure Development and what to do about it. The art is in understanding the frameworks so much to be able to tailor them to the culture and risk appetite for the company at hand.

Let's help make the implementations more resilient and functional. As always.
LLM
