Here’s a 10-minute presentation outline with speaker notes and content on Secure Development
Practices: Secure Coding Standards (OWASP, CERT, MISRA). You can use this for a slide-based
presentation or a talk.

Slide 1: Title

Secure Development Practices: Secure Coding Standards (OWASP, CERT, MISRA)

Presenter Name – Date

Speaker Notes:

Today, we'll explore secure development practices by focusing on three well-known secure coding
standards: OWASP, CERT, and MISRA. These standards help developers build secure, robust, and reliable
software by minimizing vulnerabilities at the coding level.

Slide 2: Why Secure Coding Matters

70% of security vulnerabilities are due to coding errors.

Early prevention is cheaper than post-release fixes.

Standards guide consistent, secure coding practices.

Speaker Notes:

Most vulnerabilities stem from coding flaws. Applying secure coding practices early helps prevent costly
fixes and potential breaches.
Slide 3: What Are Secure Coding Standards?

Formalized guidelines for writing secure, error-free code.

Address language-specific and security-specific concerns.

Often industry or domain-specific.

Speaker Notes:

Coding standards ensure developers follow best practices to avoid common pitfalls that could lead to
security breaches.

Slide 4: OWASP Secure Coding Practices

Developed by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project.

Language-agnostic, web-application focused.

Key topics:

Input validation

Authentication and session management

Cryptographic practices

Error handling and logging


Speaker Notes:

OWASP focuses on common web app vulnerabilities and offers a proactive control set like the OWASP
Top 10 and the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS).

Slide 5: CERT Secure Coding Standards

Developed by SEI at Carnegie Mellon University.

Language-specific standards (C, C++, Java, Perl, etc.).

Categories:

Correctness

Security

Reliability

Example: Don’t use unvalidated user input directly.

Speaker Notes:

CERT standards are more detailed and language-specific than OWASP. They target safe use of
constructs, secure memory handling, and robust error handling.

Slide 6: MISRA Coding Guidelines

Originally for automotive software in C/C++.


Now used in other safety-critical domains (aerospace, medical).

Emphasizes:

Predictable behavior

Defensive coding

Restriction of undefined behaviors

Speaker Notes:

MISRA focuses on writing safe and maintainable C/C++ code. It's stricter than CERT and is used in
systems where failure could be catastrophic.

Slide 7: OWASP vs CERT vs MISRA

Feature OWASP CERT MISRA

Focus Web apps General security Safety-critical

Language Agnostic Language-specific C/C++

Scope Application Code-level Code-level

Speaker Notes:

Each standard has its niche. Use OWASP for web apps, CERT for secure code in general-purpose
software, and MISRA for embedded and safety-critical systems.

Slide 8: Benefits of Using Standards

Prevent common vulnerabilities (e.g., buffer overflows, XSS)


Improve code quality and maintainability

Facilitate compliance (ISO 26262, DO-178C)

Reduce time spent on debugging and patching

Speaker Notes:

These benefits make secure coding standards a smart investment—enhancing security, quality, and
efficiency across the software lifecycle.

Slide 9: Best Practices for Implementation

Train developers on relevant standards.

Integrate coding checks into CI/CD pipelines.

Use static analysis tools (e.g., Coverity, SonarQube).

Perform regular code reviews and audits.

Speaker Notes:

Making secure coding part of the development process ensures standards are not just theoretical—
they're applied consistently.

Slide 10: Conclusion

Secure coding is essential for building resilient software.


Choose the right standard for your domain.

Combine standards with tools and training for best results.

Speaker Notes:

In conclusion, coding securely isn’t optional anymore. Adopting secure coding standards like OWASP,
CERT, and MISRA can significantly reduce your risk surface.
