Selected Answer: D
The breach described could have been prevented by integrating security practices into the development lifecycle, known as SecDevOps. This approach includes continuous security checks and vulnerability assessments during the development stages, which would likely have identified the vulnerability before the code was deployed.

The step that was missed that would have prevented this breach is the use of SecDevOps to detect the vulnerability during development. By implementing secure development practices, such as regular code reviews, testing, and vulnerability assessments, vulnerabilities can be detected and addressed earlier in the development process, reducing the risk of a successful attack. In this case, the vulnerability was introduced in new code, indicating that it could have been prevented with better secure development practices. - ChatGPT
