Secure Software Development Lifecycle Fundamentals

In today's interconnected world, building secure software is not just an advantage, it's a necessity. Protecting your applications from threats starts long before coding begins, requiring a proactive approach throughout the entire development process. This course equips you with the foundational knowledge and practices to embed security into every phase of the software development lifecycle, creating applications that are inherently more resilient against attacks.What you'll learn: Understand the fundamental principles and phases of the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC). Apply threat modeling techniques to identify and mitigate potential security risks early in the design phase. Implement secure coding practices to prevent common vulnerabilities, referencing standards like the OWASP Top 10. Configure essential security testing methods, including static and dynamic analysis, within the development workflow. Practice integrating security throughout the CI/CD pipeline following DevSecOps principles. Understand the basics of software supply chain security and its importance in modern development.The course begins by defining key terminology and foundational concepts of SSDLC, then guides you through practical steps for integrating security into requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, and operational phases of software development. This course is designed for aspiring developers, software engineers, and anyone new to software security who wants to build a strong foundation in secure software development. No prior experience with security concepts is required. Start your journey to building more secure and reliable software today.
