  3. Phase 2: During Definition and Design
    • Phase 2A: Security Requirements Review
    • Phase 2B: Design an Architecture Review
    • Phase 2C: Create and Review UML Models
    • Phase 2D: Create and Review Threat Models
  4. Phase 3: During Development
    • Phase 3A: Code Walkthroughs
    • Phase 3B: Code Reviews
  5. Phase 4: During Deployment
    • Phase 4A: Application Penetration Testing
    • Phase 4B: Configuration Management Testing
  6. Phase 5: Maintenance and Operations
    • Phase 5A: Conduct Operational Management Reviews
