CertNexus cyberSecurity Coder Certification Course

cyber Secure Coder, leveraging many of the OWASP Top Ten best practices, is designed to validate the knowledge and skills required to design and develop protected applications. This includes better understanding vulnerabilities that undermine Security, the general Strategy for dealing with Security defects and misconfiguration, and how to incorporate Security into all phases of development.

The stakes for software Security are extremely high with over 100 billion lines of software code being produced each year and 70% of code in apps composed of open-source software and third-party libraries, and yet many development teams are forced to address software Security when a vulnerability has been exposed. As with any aspect of software Quality, to ensure successful implementation, Security and privacy issues should be managed throughout the entire software development lifecycle.

cyber Secure Coder certification teaches you how to employ the best Security practices in software development.

Course Objectives

In this course, you will employ best practices in software development to develop secure software.

You will learn to:

Identify the need for security in your software projects.
Eliminate vulnerabilities within software.
Use a Security by Design approach to design a secure architecture for your software.
Implement common protections to protect users and data.
Apply various testing methods to find and correct security defects in your software.
Maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security.

Audience

This course is designed for software developers, testers, and architects who design and develop software in various programming languages and platforms, including desktop, web, cloud, and mobile, and who want to improve their ability to deliver software that is of high quality, particularly regarding security and privacy.

This course is also designed for students who are seeking the CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) Exam CSC-210 certification.

Eligibility Criteria

This course presents secure programming concepts that apply to many different types of software development projects. Although this course uses Python®, HTML, and JavaScript® to demonstrate various programming concepts, you do not need to have experience in these languages to benefit from this course.

However, you should have some programming experience, whether it be developing desktop, mobile, web, or cloud applications. Logical Operations provides a variety of courses covering software development that you might use to prepare for this course, such as:

Python® Programming: Introduction
