What is the purpose of the 'Conduct Final Security Review' practice in the Microsoft SDL?

To train developers on secure coding.

To define security requirements for the project.

To select cryptographic standards.

To perform a final security review to ensure all practices were followed.

A smart-home device company is launching a new line of Wi-Fi cameras that will process video in the cloud. The company must comply with GDPR for European customers and industry standards for data encryption. The product manager asks the security team to document the specific security and privacy requirements that the camera and cloud service must meet, including encryption algorithms and data retention limits. Which SDL practice should the team follow?

Define and Use Cryptography Standards

Define Metrics and Compliance Reporting

A smart-home hub manufacturer has just discovered that a firmware update pushed to customers contains a backdoor that exfiltrates user credentials. The incident response team needs to contain the breach and prevent further damage. Which sequence of actions best follows SDL Practice 10?

Delete all logs to prevent the attacker from accessing them, then push a new firmware update

Isolate affected devices, revoke compromised credentials, and analyze the backdoor to determine its origin

Immediately issue a public apology and wait for customer complaints before taking technical action

Shut down the entire cloud service until the investigation is complete

What is the primary goal of the 'Perform Threat Modeling' practice in the Microsoft SDL?

To identify and mitigate potential security threats in the software design.

To select the cryptographic algorithms to be used.

To conduct penetration testing on the final product.

To define security requirements for the project.

A company has just experienced a data breach involving its IoT cloud platform. The incident response team has contained the breach and collected evidence. The CEO wants to know the root cause and how to prevent future incidents. Which next step best follows SDL Practice 10?

Increase the security team's budget and move on

Restore all systems from backups and assume the breach is resolved

Conduct a post-incident review to identify the root cause and update the SDL processes and metrics accordingly

Immediately release a public statement and then close the incident
