Future practices for secure software development and improving security in software development given the most recent developments in technology, such as blockchain, IoT, widespread cloud and SaaS use, AI/machine learning/deep learning, and 5G.

This paper is a formal, comprehensive strategic plan for secure software development (this means providing a plan for implementing security and compliance into SDLC processes) that includes how to move forward with secure development processes as software changes and new technologies emerge–the paper should be 11 -14 pages (not counting the title, abstract, reference pages, or any added tables or figures). It is not based on your organization; instead, it is a general paper on implementing a secure software development solution with a look to the future. 

While the assignment indicates it should be formatted following publications guidelines for a professional journal of your choice, formatting this paper per APA 7 is fine. If you do follow a professional journal’s formatting guide, include a link to the guide in the comments of your submission (other-wise the work will be graded per APA 7 style rules).
