What Will You Learn?
Understand the process and concepts of building secure software including how to define and design secure software solutions (with an emphasis on web applications), select the appropriate techniques and technologies and understand the underlying mechanisms which can be used as building blocks to successfully create secure software.
Students are presented with an overview of the fundamental concepts, techniques and mechanisms involved with each stage of the SDLC. Concepts are then reinforced with real word examples and driven home with hands on practical lab exercises.
Why Do We Teach This?
Implementing traditional security countermeasures is becoming less effective at protecting organization’s critical assets. Flaws in poorly developed software are open invitations to malicious intruders who are adept at identifying programming flaws. Developers, project managers, software architects must learn how best to build security into their software development processes.
Who Teaches the Course?
Foundstone software security instructors are software developers who have performed hundreds of software audits, code reviews and have ran software security programs at major financial services companies. They have managed security programs at the Big 5 accounting firms, the United States Air Force, and on Wall Street and are frequent authors and public speakers.
Who Should Take the Course?
Software professionals who define, design and architect solutions, those who manage software development projects and teams and those that audit the security of applications.
What Do You Get?
