20. Security Review
Basic approach:
● Identify potential product vulnerability
points at design time
● Put defenses in place to cover all
possible input paths
● Institute coding standards to control risk
from the beginning
Meet the security expectations of enterprise
customers
Incorporate security into your Application Lifecycle Management process
21. Secure Development:
● Test for the OWASP top 10
● Test for Record and Field Level Security Enforcement
○ http://sforce.co/1Y32v3k
● See full list of security considerations here: http://bit.ly/LC-Security
Security Review Submission:
● Security Review of paid components is $1000, no charge for free components
● Each listing (bundle or individual component) has the same price for Security Review
● Create a test environment with the component configured/accessible ready for the tester
● Third party frameworks are not supported in Lightning Components
