About this template
In today's digital age, software security is essential. The objective of this OKR is to establish a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) within our organization. By doing so, we will ensure that our software is developed and maintained in a secure manner, reducing the risk of vulnerable code being released into the wild and the chance of data breaches and cyberattacks. This objective will involve implementing secure development practices throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from initial planning to final deployment.
