In today's cloud-first world, embedding security into every phase of software development is critical to building resilient, secure applications. This session dives into the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) within Microsoft Azure, offering practical strategies to integrate security from planning to deployment. Learn how to leverage Azure's powerful tools—such as Azure DevOps, Azure Key Vault, and Microsoft Defender for DevOps—to implement a robust SSDLC that aligns with DevSecOps principles.

Attendees will explore key SSDLC phases, including threat modeling, secure coding, and automated security testing, with a focus on Azure-specific solutions like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and secure secret management. We'll also cover real-world best practices, such as using Azure Monitor for continuous monitoring and integrating security into CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities early. Whether you're a developer, security professional, or IT leader, this session will equip you with actionable insights to enhance your software security in Azure.
