Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in a way that protects against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. The Secure Coding course has been specifically designed to cover all the security concepts and notions a modern software developer will handle. This 16-hour hands-on course will provide a strong understanding of these security topics using one or more of the following widely used programming languages:
- Java
- Javascript
- PHP
More specifically, during the 4 days of the course participants are expected to combine theory and practice across the following areas:
- Software Security
- OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities
- TLS
- Security Headers
- Cookie Guidelines
Who should attend
This hands-on course is mainly targeted to Software Developers, Software Engineers but also to anyone else interested in developing secure web applications.
Prerequisites
This workshop will be highly appreciated by professionals with working experience in a major web programming language such as Java, Javascript, PHP, C# etc.
