SSDF addresses security across the development lifecycle. A protection product can contribute a control but does not assume responsibility for source, supply chain or releases.
Evaluation approach
Define protection during design, version its settings, verify artifacts and monitor production effects. Be able to identify affected SDK releases and the person responsible for updates.
Application example
After an SDK upgrade, repeat critical-flow tests, review collection behavior and prepare rollback artifacts instead of checking compilation alone.
Limits and considerations
Referencing a framework does not prove that its activities happened. Written processes can differ from actual pipeline behavior.
Checks and decisions
- Version protection settings
- Maintain SDK inventories
- Connect updates and vulnerability handling
Track prevention, verification and incident learning together. RASP does not replace vulnerability remediation.
