CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder

Cyber Secure Coder is the ideal learning path for application developers, testers and architects who have previously not had to consider including security in their project. Even students who are new to programming can benefit by instilling security into their thought process before creating their first application.

Cyber Secure Coder is the ideal learning path for application developers, testers and architects who have previously not had to consider including security in their project. Even students who are new to programming can benefit by instilling security into their thought process before creating their first application. In this path, you will employ best practices in software development to write secure code.

You will identify the need for security in your software projects, eliminate vulnerabilities within software, use a security by design approach to design a secure architecture for your software, implement common protections to protect users and data, apply various testing methods to find and correct security defects in your software, and maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security. Finally, you will put concepts into practice with numerous hands-on activities examining files and code, using both developer and penetration tester techniques to discover and correct vulnerabilities.
