Chapter 8. Stage 3: Product Risk Assessment

In this chapter:

Before investing a great deal of time designing and implementing software, you should understand the costs of building secure applications, especially those handling data with privacy considerations. Obviously, you want to expend as much effort as needed to create the appropriate level of protection, but not too much more. Higher risk translates into higher development and support costs.
