There are significant concerns around coding standards and the ability of individuals to write secure code. Many vulnerabilities could be stopped from ever happening if individuals were held to coding standards or if proper code reviews were done before a commercial software package was created or distributed. In Domain 1, the concept of least privilege refers to granting users only access to information required to perform their job functions (Vasquez et al., 2019, p. 81). The issue of selective access provides a unique challenge for programmers who are creating systems. Often, individuals are pulled into parts of coding projects to fix minor problems or help out in different project areas. This can make it difficult for developers to see the complete picture of the project and can lead to challenges with secure coding.
Please review the attached Then, compose a paper, 2 to 3 pages in length, addressing the following questions:
How does a manager keep the concept of least privileges intact with coding issues?
How does a manager enforce the concept of least privilege? How does this change if employees go on vacation or are absent for a period?
How can secure coding help prevent malicious code from entering the system?
What are some of the common mistakes of making code unsecure?
Compose your work in a .doc or .docx file type using a word processor (such as Microsoft Word, etc.) and save it frequently to your computer. Your paper should follow APA (latest edition) guidelines as indicated in the grading rubric. At least one other reference is required besides the one listed in the assignment.
