Abstract

The primary objective of this chapter is to evaluate the cybersecurity framework for software security, which has gained significant importance due to the rise in malicious attacks and other hacker-related threats to computer systems in recent years. As a result, numerous researchers have explored security solutions from the earliest stages of requirement engineering. Given the growth of the software industry and the internet, it is essential to understand the security threats associated with each stage of the software development life cycle (SDLC). To address this need, we conducted an industrial empirical study to assess the impact of software security threats at every stage of the SDLC. Cybersecurity has become a top priority for businesses across all industries and sizes as digital technology and data are now integral components of the commercial landscape.
