Cybersecurity in Software Development: Why It’s Non-Negotiable
In a world where digital threats evolve as fast as technology does, cybersecurity is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s a critical requirement. From financial systems to healthcare platforms, software that isn’t secure is a business liability.
At SIVOXI, we integrate robust cybersecurity protocols into every stage of our software development process. Because in our world, great software doesn’t just function flawlessly—it protects what matters.
Why Cybersecurity Must Be Built In (Not Bolted On)
43% of cyberattacks target small and medium-sized businesses.
The average data breach costs $4.45 million globally.
90% of software vulnerabilities stem from development flaws.
Security cannot be an afterthought—it needs to be baked into your development strategy from day one.
The Most Common Software Vulnerabilities
Understanding the risks helps prevent them. Here are the top threats we protect against:
1. SQL Injection & Code Injections
Hackers manipulate queries to access databases.
Our solution: Input validation, parameterized queries, and code sanitization.
2. Broken Authentication
Poor login protocols make it easy for attackers to gain access.
Our solution: Multi-factor authentication (MFA), OAuth 2.0, and secure session management.
3. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Injected scripts that run in users’ browsers.
Our solution: Escaping outputs and enforcing strict content security policies.
4. Insecure APIs
Unprotected APIs open the door to unauthorized access.
Our solution: Secure tokens, rate limiting, and encryption protocols.
