Advanced Practices in Application Security
In this course, you’ll learn how to implement advanced application security practices by embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Overview
This course includes:
- On-demand videos
- Practice assessments
- Multiple hands-on learning activities
- Exposure to a real-world project
- 100% self-paced learning opportunities
- Certification of completion
Software rules the world whether it runs a datacenter, a cloud workload, on an IoT device in a factory, or an application running on a mobile device; software is inescapable. Traditionally, security approaches have “bolted-on” security in the final stages of development. But these last-minute techniques are no longer sufficient in providing security against sophisticated cyber threats. Each year cyberattacks become more prevalent and more dangerous, and organizations face unprecedented pressure to embed security into their development processes rather than treating it like an afterthought. This course empowers cybersecurity professionals, software developers, and DevSecOps teams to implement application security techniques that integrate into and throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Skills You Will Gain
Learning Outcomes (At The End Of This Program, You Will Be Able To...)
- Apply secure coding practices and OWASP top 10 prevention techniques to eliminate vulnerabilities during development phases.
- Analyze application architectures to identify critical security threats and design comprehensive threat models for risk mitigation.
- Evaluate software supply chains and implement security controls for open-source components, dependencies, and vendor relationships.
- Design secure cloud-native and container architectures with automated monitoring and compliance validation capabilities.
Prerequisites
To gain the most from this course, learners should already have a strong foundation in software development processes, particularly SDLC and Agile/DevOps methodologies. Familiarity with common web application vulnerabilities (such as the OWASP Top 10), hands-on experience with at least one modern programming language, and a working understanding of cloud, containerization, and infrastructure patterns are essential. A baseline knowledge of network security and common attack vectors will further ensure learners can apply the advanced practices covered effectively.
Who Should Attend
This course is tailored for experienced professionals working at the intersection of software development, security, and operations. It is ideal for Security Engineers and Architects driving DevSecOps practices, Senior Developers ensuring secure coding in applications, and DevOps Engineers embedding security into CI/CD workflows. IT Managers, Directors, Compliance Specialists, and Security Consultants will also benefit by gaining the frameworks and practical approaches needed to oversee, assess, and strengthen organizational software security initiatives.
