#CODESEC: Secure coding - practical techniques and best practices
The course is designed to equip developers with essential skills to write secure, high-quality code. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, participants will learn to identify vulnerabilities, implement security best practices, and protect applications from potential threats.
This course is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their coding practices and build robust, secure software solutions.
Why you should attend
Join this course to develop the basic skills needed to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in your code, properly assess risks, and strengthen your applications against potential attacks.
You’ll also learn to follow security best practices and build a security-focused mindset throughout your development process.
It is ideal if you are a developer looking to enhance your security expertise.
What you will learn
Participants will gain comprehensive and practical knowledge, including:
- Core Principles of Secure Coding: Grasp essential concepts of secure coding and application security, such as the principle of least privilege, input validation, and secure error handling.
- Vulnerability Detection and Analysis: Learn to identify and analyze common security flaws in your code, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, and insecure deserialization. You’ll understand how these vulnerabilities are discovered and the implications they can have on an application.
- Hands-On Exploitation and Remediation: Engage in practical exercises where you’ll exploit sample vulnerabilities to see the impact firsthand. Then, practice implementing effective remediation strategies to strengthen your applications.
- Secure Coding Practices: Adopt proven best practices, like proper authentication and session management, secure configuration, and data protection techniques to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
- Best Practices in DevSecOps: Discover how to integrate security seamlessly into your software development lifecycle. You’ll learn techniques to automate security checks and foster collaboration between development, security, and operations teams.
- Artificial Intelligence & Secure Coding: Explore the role of AI in software security. Understand how AI and machine learning can be leveraged to improve security measures and recognize potential challenges AI presents to secure coding.
Who is it for
Given the amount of time we have together for the workshop, we will only cover the basics.
