- [Instructor] Welcome back to our new chapter about application security and DevSecOps. During this chapter, we will analyze how we can secure applications hosted in the cloud. We'll also focus on security operations and what you need to do to keep your cloud environment safe at all times. Integrating security into every phase of the software development lifecycle is essential to build resilient applications. This approach, often called secure SDLC or DevSecOps, ensures that security is not an afterthought, but a continuous consideration from design to deployment. In the design phase, teams conduct threat modeling to identify potential security risks and define mitigation strategies. This involves understanding the application's architecture, data flow, and trust boundaries. For example, a web application handling user data might face risks like SQL injection or unauthorized access. Threat modeling helps prioritize these risks and design controls upfront. During development, secure…
