Description

Reports about serious vulnerabilities in critical IT components have triggered increased focus on cybersecurity worldwide. In an era of cyberattacks, having unsecure software is a great risk and it can affect everyone — including individuals, corporations, and governments. For that reason, ensuring security in software development is essential.

Customers demand secure products out of the box, so security should be a top priority that should be top of mind for everyone. But without a standard approach to security, it is almost impossible to deliver on the customers' expectations.

In this course you will learn all about secure software development tools and frameworks. Learn how to put a system in place to test your software for any overlooked vulnerabilities. We'll get into secure coding practices such as input validation, separation of concerns, and single access point. You'll also learn about the different kinds of security threats and how to fortify your code.
