Essential SAFECode Practices: Implement Bulletproof Security Controls and Supply-Chain Integrity Labs
Essential SAFECode Practices: Implement Bulletproof Security Controls and Supply-Chain Integrity Labs
How confident are you that the code you push today won't be tomorrow's headline breach?
In a world where software supply-chain attacks are skyrocketing and zero-day exploits emerge without warning, security cannot be left to the end of the development cycle. It must be baked into every commit, every build, and every deployment.
This hands-on guide transforms the SAFECode framework from a set of principles into actionable, repeatable practices you can apply immediately. Packed with practical labs, automation scripts, and reproducible workflows, it shows you how to build bulletproof security controls into your pipelines-without slowing delivery.
You'll go far beyond theory. Every chapter walks you through real-world scenarios: replacing unsafe functions in C/C++, automating peer review with GitHub Actions, signing and verifying artifacts with Cosign, scanning dependencies with Grype and Snyk, running AFL++ and libFuzzer to stress-test native code, enforcing Kubernetes signed-image policies, and running live tabletop exercises to stress-test your incident response.
By the end of this book, you will be able to:
Implement SAFECode's most critical secure development practices in real engineering environments.
Set up secure lab environments that mirror production, with reproducible builds and signed artifacts.
Automate static and dynamic analysis in CI/CD pipelines.
Perform continuous vulnerability tracking and rapid remediation.
Secure third-party components and manage your software supply chain with confidence.
Lead effective code reviews using structured checklists and automation hooks.
Coordinate high-pressure incident responses with ready-to-run playbooks and scripts.
Written for developers, DevOps engineers, security champions, and technical leaders, this book speaks the language of working teams who need practical results-not just policies. The labs and examples are designed to integrate directly into your workflows, making security a habit rather than a hurdle.
If you're serious about protecting your applications, safeguarding your build pipelines, and keeping your users' trust, Essential SAFECode Practices is the playbook you need on your desk.
Don't wait for the next CVE to expose your blind spots-equip yourself and your team with the tools, checklists, and automation that will keep your software secure, stable, and resilient in the face of today's most advanced threats.
