Module overview
- Core guidance — risk intake, threat landscape alignment, stakeholder mapping.
- Secure SDLC — shift-left, tooling, secure delivery pipelines.
- Application security — OWASP mitigations, dependency management, secure coding guidelines.
- Cloud & infrastructure — IaC scanning, secrets, zero trust networking.
- Detection & response — logging, SIEM, incident response.
- Compliance & governance — policy enforcement, audit readiness.
- Known gaps — active research backlog.
- Research checklist — quarterly refresh workflow.
Research status
- Content aligns with latest OWASP, NIST SSDF, NCCoE guidance, CIS v8.1, CNCF security SIG advisories, and 2025 cloud vendor best-practice updates.
- Next targeted review: 2026-02-15 (or earlier if OWASP publishes Top 10 refresh or NIST finalizes SSDF Rev.1).
- Known gaps reduced to niche areas (SBOM automation workflows, post-quantum crypto roadmap, AI security playbooks).
