The Secure Coding Practices Specialization comprises four comprehensive courses that cover principles of secure coding, threat modeling, cryptography, and vulnerability exploitation in C/C++ and Java languages, preparing participants to think like a hacker and protect organizations' information.
The "Principles of Secure Coding" course introduces participants to the philosophy and principles of secure programming, robust programming, and the relationship between them. It covers eight design principles governing secure coding and provides practical exercises to improve the security and robustness of programs.
The "Identifying Security Vulnerabilities" course lays the foundation for secure programming by addressing threat modeling, cryptography, application vulnerabilities, injection problems in web applications, authentication, session management, and sensitive data exposure issues. Participants will gain practical experience by exploiting vulnerabilities in a vulnerable web application.
The "Identifying Security Vulnerabilities in C/C++ Programming" course focuses on evaluating the fragility of C++ library code and identifying problems related to privilege, input validation, resource management, and other aspects. Participants will learn to code robust versions of fragile C++ library code and remediate examples of problems that apply to C/C++ interactions with the programming environment.
The "Exploiting and Securing Vulnerabilities in Java Applications" course delves into protecting against cross-site scripting attacks, mitigating injection vulnerabilities, creating secure authentication strategies, and identifying and patching vulnerable components in Java applications. Participants will gain practical skills to secure Java applications against various threats.
