Cyber Secure Coder Course Overview
This 3-day course containing seven modules presents an approach to security and privacy throughout the entire software development lifecycle. You will learn about vulnerabilities that undermine security and how to identify and remediate them in your projects. Additionally, you will validate your competency in creating highly secure applications. Secure Code Coder will hone your skills in several dimensions, including maintaining safety interests in programming languages, mitigating system hazards, and employing efficient testing. You will learn general strategies for dealing with security defects and misconfiguration, how to design software to deal with the human element in security, and how to incorporate security into all phases of development.
This course includes hands-on activities for each topic area. These activities aim to demonstrate concepts utilizing two universal languages, Python and JavaScript. Developers who use alternate languages can apply the principles from the activities to any coding language. Hands-on exercises are designed to keep code to a bare minimum. We provide students with all of the code they need to complete activities. The activities do not require a “deep dive” into code to understand the principles being covered.
Course Curriculum
