Simplified SDL
Last week Microsoft provided a document outlining a ‘Simplified Implementation of the Microsoft SDL’. This document provides the required information for minimum SDL compliance. At 17 pages, it is a quick, yet detailed, read. The Secure Development Lifecycle is not just for Microsoft projects, and can be used with any language. Microsoft has even updated the original document to include Agile development. Whether you are new to the SDL or have some experience with it, this document provides a good base of information. The document can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center.
