Secure Software Development Bootcamp by Tonex
The Secure Software Development Bootcamp is an intensive training program designed to equip software developers and engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop secure applications. This bootcamp covers best practices and techniques needed to prevent common security vulnerabilities and protect users, customers, and organizations from attacks at the application layer. Participants will learn through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and practical demonstrations, preparing them to apply secure coding practices in their day-to-day work.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance of secure software development and the impact of vulnerabilities on users, customers, and organizations.
- Learn common security vulnerabilities and threats at the application layer.
- Gain proficiency in secure coding practices for preventing vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure deserialization.
- Develop skills in implementing authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms to protect sensitive data.
- Master techniques for secure configuration, input validation, error handling, and logging in software applications.
- Learn how to perform security testing and code reviews to identify and remediate security vulnerabilities.
Audience: This bootcamp is suitable for software developers, engineers, architects, and anyone involved in the development of software applications who wants to enhance their knowledge and skills in secure software development.
Bootcamp Modules:
Day 1: Understanding Security Threats and Vulnerabilities
- Introduction to secure software development principles and practices
- Common security threats and vulnerabilities at the application layer
