With the increase in cyber-attacks on business, it's time to start building security into new systems developments right from the start. The majority of successful cyber-attacks depend on exploiting a few well-known common vulnerabilities. This course will show how to design security in, and maintain that security throughout a systems life-cycle from initial requirements through to de-commissioning and disposal of assets. Learning Objectives Delegates will learn how to Understand the main SDLC Models, and their principal differences Be able to choose which SDLC model is most appropriate in a given situation. Learn how to apply secure development techniques from the initial design stage and throughout a development lifecycle Understand the latest (2013) OWASP vulnerabilities and how to counter/mitigate them Learn about useful system design tools Understand and learn how to apply secure design and coding techniques Discover resources to help introduce and use secure design and development techniques Understand the benefits of code review Understand various testing strategies Learn about encryption, securing and compromising passwords and meta data An introduction to the classification of security flaws
About this course
A general understanding of current systems development practices, methodologies and languages, and a broad understanding of current threats and system vulnerabilities. The intended audience is system architects, designers, analysts, developers, software testers, security practitioners, project managers and anyone with an interest in building and maintaining secure, robust systems. This course is not designed for the experienced software developer and does not cover hands-on coding.
