There are 4 modules in this course

Analyze the impact of insecure software by examining common vulnerability patterns, real-world security failures, and how attackers exploit weaknesses in application logic, input handling, and authentication mechanisms. Develop foundational secure coding skills by applying core security principles, validating inputs, and implementing secure authentication and session controls to prevent common attacks. Build practical analysis capabilities using Linux and Kali tools to navigate systems, analyze logs, apply regular expressions, and map application-level threats using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, enabling a deeper understanding of how vulnerabilities translate into real-world attack behavior.

Implement security across the software development lifecycle by integrating secure practices into requirements, design, development, testing, and release phases. Apply structured approaches such as shift-left security and basic threat modeling to identify risks early and reduce downstream vulnerabilities. Develop practical skills in security testing by analyzing applications using Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), while incorporating continuous feedback mechanisms to improve code quality and ensure security is embedded as an ongoing process within development workflows.

Analyze the role of DevSecOps in modern software delivery by examining how security can be integrated into continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. Develop practical skills in automating security controls by implementing security as code, enforcing automated security gates, and integrating vulnerability detection into development workflows. Evaluate dependency risks using Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and apply automated security practices to ensure secure, scalable, and reliable software releases in fast-paced engineering environments.
