Cyber (Secure) Coder (Exam CSC-210) - Blended

Cyber Secure Coder is designed to validate the knowledge and skills required to create and develop secure applications. With over 111 billion lines of code being written every year, and application developers sourcing over 70% of their code from sources like GitHub, there has never been a stronger need for coders to know best practices around security by design principles. Organizations are looking to shorten their development lifecycles, decrease costs, and hire programmers who can help them do these things by focusing on security first, last, and always. Separate yourself from the other programmers, become a Cyber Secure Coder today.

In this course, you will employ best practices in software development to develop secure software.

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.
• Maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security.

Course Objectives:

In this course, you will employ best practices in software development to develop secure software. 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.

• Maintain deployed software to ensure ongoing security.

This course includes hands on activities for each topic area. The goal of these activities is to demonstrate concepts utilizing two universal languages Python and Java Script. Developers who use alternate languages will be able to apply the principles from the activities to any coding languages.

Hands on exercises are designed to keep the typing of code to a bare minimum. CertNexus provides students with all of the code they need to complete activities. The activities do not require a “deep dive” into code to understand the principles being covered.

This course presents secure programming concepts that apply to many different types of software development projects. While this course uses Python, HTML, and JavaScript to demonstrate various programming concepts, you do not need to have experience in these languages to benefit from this course. However, you should have some programming experience, whether it be developing desktop, mobile, web, or cloud applications.

• Python® Programming: Introduction
• Python® Programming: Advanced

This course is designed for software developers, testers, and architects who design and develop software in various programming languages and platforms, including desktop, web, cloud, and mobile, and who want to improve their ability to deliver software that is of high quality, particularly regarding security and privacy.

This course is also designed for students who are seeking the CertNexus Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) Exam CSC-210 certification.
