In this module, we will explore strategies for managing vulnerabilities in software development, focusing on the risks posed by bugs, external libraries, and human error. You will learn secure design principles, lifecycle security practices, and methods for handling errors without compromising security. Through assignments and activities, you’ll investigate leftover deployment artifacts and assess their potential security implications.

In this module, we will focus on designing software with security at its core. You will explore foundational principles of secure design, identify and correct common flaws, and assess risks and threats during the design phase. Through practical assignments and activities, you’ll analyze security concerns in applications and implement strategies to mitigate risks, including countermeasures against common exploits.

In this module, we will focus on developing secure code by understanding and addressing common programming vulnerabilities. You will learn how to prevent buffer overflows, race conditions, and platform-specific vulnerabilities across various environments. With a detailed exploration of the OWASP Top Ten, this section provides a comprehensive guide to identifying and remediating risks in web, mobile, IoT, and desktop applications. Practical assignments and activities will strengthen your ability to write robust, secure code.

In this module, we will explore foundational protections essential for secure application development. You will learn secure session management, strategies for user provisioning and password security, and the effective use of encryption for data protection. Additionally, we will examine best practices for error handling to prevent potential security breaches. These lessons provide the tools to implement robust security measures in any application.

In this module, we will focus on ensuring long-term software security through rigorous testing and proactive maintenance. You will learn procedures for verifying application security during development and implement monitoring and logging strategies to identify and respond to threats in production. These practices will help maintain a secure and resilient software environment.
