  Secure development process is a procedure taken by developers to ensure the
programs developed are following the general security standards and will always
be up to date so that the outcomes are well secured and obedient. As a software
developer, it is very crucial to implement and develop a highly secured and
reliable program for clients and users. In this current digital world where
everything is advancing faster than we can ever think of, most of the old
security policies can no longer be implemented alone. The consequences and
impacts that could be brought upon a company are really huge if the software
applications are not secured according to the modern trend. Therefore, in this
paper research is done to asses the security integration in software
development process. The concept and the purpose of this research is to provide
insight about the current issues and challenges faced by most of the software
developers in terms of secure software development. With a better and clearer
explanation of these issues, challenges, and methodologies adopted to overcome
them are discussed which can potentially provide a better and higher level of
security along with better software programmers and client relationship. To
comply with future demands and threats, security concerns need to be involved
in all phases while developing a software system. Therefore, an effort is made
to investigate and contribute to this domain through this paper.
