In cybersecurity products, coding defects frequently become security vulnerabilities. This assessment scores endpoint, EDR, anti-malware, encryption and DLP codebases across the three areas where C and C++ defects turn into exploitable bugs.
About this checklist
A defect in an ordinary application is a bug. The same defect in a security product is an attack surface — and one sitting on every customer machine, usually with elevated privileges. Attackers know this, which is why exploits are often built the same weekend a patch ships. This checklist covers the fifteen practices that separate C and C++ codebases that survive a determined security review from those that stop at “it compiles.”
Who it is for: Engineering managers and architects setting secure-coding standards. Useful as a code review standard, or as the agenda for a hardening sprint.

Every memory leak is a reliability risk. Every race condition is a reliability risk. Every unchecked input is a potential security incident.
How many of these fifteen questions would receive an unqualified “Yes” in your current codebase?
