SECURE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AWARENESS: A CASE STUDY OF UNDERGRADUATE DEVELOPERS

As ubiquitous computing becomes an increasingly inherent component of everyday life due to the rapid growth communication technologies and globalization, threats against information systems have taken a more latent yet lethal dimension. This emergent digital security challenge has correspondingly motivated proactive change in software engineering process recent decades. inspired intense research scrutiny on as crucial any system. Moreover, today’s virtual world hyperconnectivity, most significant vulnerabilities modern are centred. Nevertheless, shows that developers often lack required knowledge skills secure development (SSD). Such ensures all resultant components each lifecycle correctly implemented rather than merely following SSD lifecycle. Also, engenders consciousness professional attitude amongst developers. Therefore, investigating students’ awareness principles can generate insight into evolving undergraduate curriculum – path building future career The study used voluntary online survey recruit sample 76 employed descriptive approach data analysis. Among other findings, revealed participants’ perception threat vulnerability impacts their towards mobile platforms. And though over 90% took either “serious” or “extremely serious”, this disposition did not reflect depth experience SSD.
