Build and Deploy Secure Code for C# Applications

Learn how to securely build and deploy .NET applications. This course covers integrating security into your deployment pipeline to protect your code, servers, and environment against today’s threats in modern software development.

Without proper security measures, .NET applications can inadvertently invite attackers to exploit hidden code and environment vulnerabilities. In this course, Build and Deploy Secure Code for C# Applications, you’ll learn to integrate security controls throughout your build and deployment process, ensuring your application, server, and environment remain resilient against modern threats. First, you'll verify the build process, where you verify dependencies, implement supply chain validation, enable framework flags like ASLR and code signing, integrate SAST, avoid debug builds, and apply code obfuscation. Next, you'll work with IIS to create a secure deployment environment by validating signed code, working with least privilege, and hardening your web server. Finally, you'll discover how to monitor deployments post-release to detect anomalies, respond to incidents, and maintain a secure production environment. When you finish this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge for a secure .NET application build and deployment process needed to protect your applications, mitigate risks, and confidently release software in today’s threat landscape.
