systems and determine the objectives of new systems?
Requirements
Design
Planning
Testing - correct Answers ✔✔ -Planning

What happens during a dynamic code review?
Programmers monitor system memory, functional behavior, response times, and
overall performance.
Customers perform tests to check software meets requirements.
An analysis of computer programs without executing them is performed.
Input fields are supplied with unexpected input and tested. - correct
Answers ✔✔ -Programmers monitor system memory, functional behavior,
response times, and overall performance.
How should you store your application user credentials in your application database?
Use application logic to encrypt credentials
Store credentials as clear text
Store credentials using Base 64 encoded
Store credentials using salted hashes - correct Answers ✔✔ -Store
credentials using salted hashes
Hashing is a one-way process that converts a password to ciphertext using hash
algorithms. Password salting adds random characters before or after a password
prior to hashing to obfuscate the actual password.

Answers ✔✔ -To ensure that security is built into the product from the
start
To correctly and cost-effectively introduce security into the software development life
cycle, it needs to be done early.
Why should a security team provide documented certification requirements during
the software assessment phase?
Certification is required if the organization wants to move to the cloud.
Depending on the environment in which the product resides, certifications may be
required by corporate or government entities before the software can be released to
customers.
By ensuring software products are certified, the organization is protected from future
litigation.
By ensuring all developers have security certifications before writing any
code, teams can forego discovery sessions. - correct Answers ✔✔ -
Depending on the environment in which the product resides, certifications
may be required by corporate or government entities before the software
can be released to customers.
Any new product may need to be certified based on the data it stores, the
frameworks it uses, or the domain in which it resides. Those certification
