- Security best practice advice - security as a business enabler
- In depth study of threats, hacks, vulnerabilities and counter-measures development teams should be familiar with
- Content presented in logical and continuous progression according to instructional design best practices
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of the Introduction to Secure Coding 201 course, users will be able to:
- Understand the importance of the SDLC and how security in web application development can be integrated into it
- Identify and define the different types of attacks, threats and vulnerabilities that exist against code
