2CYBER SECURITY
Introduction
The world of programming and cyber security is not associated as much with each
other. A programmer does not always specifically focus on the cyber security or did not
understand why they focus should be on this particular topic. It is not understood why a
specific focus should cyber security professionals provide to the programming world and how
programming can help preventing cyber security attacks (Deng et al. 2015). The following
report is therefore created to find out about the relationship between cyber security and
programming with the help of critical discussions about the changing environment in the
cyber world and the focus of the programmers depending on the probable change in security
environment in the cyber world.
Critical Discussion about writing computer program competently in the cyber
security environment
They have been many e very searches done for developing computer software to
secure coding. Secure coding is defined as a practice for the development of computer
software that needs to be done without the inclusion of any unwanted cyber security
vulnerabilities within the programming system (Jajodia et al. 2015). The common
occurrences of Security intrusion mostly follow through the implementation of security
vulnerabilities clipping in a program with the help of logic floors, defects and bugs. These are
the commonly implemented software vulnerability that occurs while programming and which
the programmers need to take intensive care about. It has been identified that a programmer
however does not fully understand the requirement of protecting the security risks during the
writing of a program. In many cases it has been identified as a lack of awareness about the
security vulnerabilities for the programmers (Chandra and Singhal 2016).
