Secure Java Development: Practical Secure Coding Principles

Writing functional Java code is only half the battle; ensuring your applications are resilient against modern security threats is critical for any developer. This text-based course guides you from foundational security concepts to implementing robust defensive programming patterns, helping you write secure, production-ready software. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational secure coding principles and the Java security model. - Prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and XML external entity injection. - Secure data handling using modern cryptography, hashing, and safe serialization practices. - Implement secure authentication, authorization, and modern token-based session management. - Scan and manage third-party dependencies using modern automated security tools. - Apply defensive coding techniques to handle errors and logging without exposing sensitive data. You will start with core security terminology and basic concepts before exploring practical, written code examples that demonstrate how to identify vulnerabilities and refactor them into secure implementations. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate Java developers who want to build secure applications, with no prior security experience required.
