Who is it for?
Given the amount of time we have together for the workshop, we will only cover the basics.
Whether you’re just starting out in software development, or looking to build a better foundation in application security, this course provides the essential knowledge and practical skills.
It is ideal for those who want to understand the basics of secure coding and identify common vulnerabilities.
Key learning objectives (I):
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.
Key learning objectives (II):
✔ 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.
