Course Description

This course covers the design and implementation of secure software. Some of the topics covered are the characteristics of secure software, the role of security in the development lifecycle, designing secure software, and best security programming practices in C/C++.

Target Audience

Any individual, organization, government agency, including schools and colleges, would benefit from the course. Most importantly, the course is designed for ordinary day-to-day users who do not have the advantage of specialized technical programming knowledge, i.e. for the rest of us.

Eligibility

Those who have basic computer knowledge and wish to learn Secure Software Development.

Objectives
    • Explain terms used in secured software development and life cycle process
    • Incorporate requirements into the secured software development process and test software for security vulnerability
    • Identify vulnerable code in implemented software and describe attack consequences
    • Apply mitigation and implementation practices to construct attack-resistant software
    • Apply secure design principles for developing attack-resistant software
