...reduce the number of vulnerabilities that creep into the software's design and code. I want to emphasize this point because this is the single most important goal of the SDL: To reduce the number of vulnerabilities in software products.

...Reduce the attack surface By disabling emulated devices, features and services you don't need you reduce the amount of code exposed to an attacker, thus reducing the number of possible bugs that can be exploited. You should also aim to protect the integrity of the guest operating system, making it harder for an attacker to get lower level...
